Michael’s two loves were God and his daughter. He was saved and placed high value in everyone knowing Christ as their Savior. He was a member of the Little Creek Baptist Church at Hartville, Missouri. He taught Sunday School classes, served on the missions building project team at Camp Calvary, served in the outreach Prison Ministry, and pitched in wherever he was needed. He really enjoyed studying the Bible and strengthening his relationship with the Lord. When he could no longer attend Church, his dear friends from Church, Art Vandergrift and John Barron would have Bible study at his home. This meant a great deal to him.
He was a loving father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend; we will forever cherish the many memories he created.
In lieu of flowers please send any memorial gifts to Little Creek Baptist Church, Hartville, Missouri through Holman-Howe Funeral Home, P.O. Box 236, Hartville, Missouri 65667.
A memorial service will be held at a later date. He will be interred at the Springfield National Cemetery, Springfield, Missouri.
