Mike spent most of his career working in the banking industry with a brief hiatus to manage a franchised location with Kentucky Fried Chicken. After his brief stint in the chicken business, Mike returned to the banking industry and worked with several corporations to include the  Lockhart Company.

Mike enjoyed spending time with his wife. In their younger days, they were an amazing duo on the square dance floor. Mike was also an amazing family man. He could always be found attending and supporting the many events his family was involved in from sporting events, to concerts. Mike was always present. Mike also was an avid golfer and bowler.  

A love like Mike’s is hard to find and the adoration Mike displayed toward his family and friends is one that will never be forgotten. Mike will be remembered for making everyone laugh as his infinite humor cannot be replicated, making sure the house was filled with laughter, and how much Mike loved. He loved his family and friends out loud and he will be deeply missed by all whom loved him.
