He grew up in Sparta, Missouri and attended school there. He had lived in Florida for two years, but lived most of his life in the Sparta, Bruner, Ava, and Seymour area and had recently worked as a logger.
He had accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior and was baptized in his youth. He attended the Union Hill Baptist Church in Keltner.
In his spare time he liked to watch basketball and football on television. He especially enjoyed the outdoors where he played horse shoes, went mushroom hunting, and loved to hunt, but his favorite past time was fishing with his mom and friends.
Michael was a loving father, son, grandson, brother and uncle, and was a caring neighbor and friend. We celebrate his life and accomplishments and will cherish the wonderful memories he created for his family and many friends.
