Mike loved race cars, motorcycles and playing Santa Claus to all his nephews and nieces. He loved selling cars and getting to personally know his customers, some who would not let any other salesman wait on them. He loved the Lord and loved going to church at the nursing home. He is with Jesus, his mom and dad and we look forward to seeing him again. The family would like to thank the staff at Sunny Springs Nursing Home in Sulphur Springs and the staff of Choice Hospice for their loving care.
