Michael grew up in Amory and graduated with the Amory High school class of 1975. He then went on to further his education at ICC where he played tennis and graduated from ICC in 1977. He was a loyal employee for both the Frisco Railroad and BNSF for over 38 years. He was stationed in Amory, Memphis and in Fort Worth, TX.

During his lifetime, he was blessed by God with four children. He loved the Lord and was a member of First Baptist Church in Amory. Michael truly loved his children, was a proud father and he often bragged on their accomplishments. He liked storytelling and just spending time with them. He looked forward and loved spending time with his daughter when she visited with him. Michael was also real close to his sister, Donna, who brought him lots of his favorite foods and goodies and his brother, Sam, who helped him walk again after experiencing some medical problems. Another close friend of his was Keith Brown who helped raise money for his friend in time of need.

Michael was a diehard MSU fan who was loyal to the bulldogs. He lived and breathed Mississippi State and enjoyed watching any sport played by his team. He frequented the ballgames with family and friends. Michael also liked to shop and look for Mississippi State treasures to buy. A few of his favorite items in life were Bill’s Hamburgers and a glass bottle of Coca Cola. A fine man, Michael brought so much joy to his family and friends.
