Mr. Mike was one of the most remarkable men I have known. He was never without a smile and always saw the good in everyone he met. Mr. Mike was a man of God who lived life telling others about Jesus, and loved sharing the Gospel. The love he had for his family and for Mrs. Sharon was absolutley beautiful and served as an example to all who knew them. He will be so dearly missed.
We love you all dearly as brothers and sisters in Christ and special friends! Sharon was completed devoted to Mike and his care and it is a testament to us all. Your example of a Godly marriage is a blessing to all who were fortunate to encounter them. May God continue to bless you and give you peace! David and Lori 💕
Although I did not know Mike well, I know that he was a caring and generous man who always went out of his way to show kindness to others. I am so grateful that I got the chance to meet him and for the way he and Sharon welcomed me into their home when I came to visit. I have always felt proud and fortunate to call Mike family and I will remember him with great fondness.
Mike and Sharon have been dear friends for over 32 years. Mike was a true disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ. He had a great heart, especially for missions. He suffered much but always but never let that stop him from sharing the Gospel. God bless all the family.
