My heart became heavy when I learned the passing of Mike. I had the honor and priviledge to work with Mike at Merchants Food Service in Jackson, MS. He was such a joy in the office. He was so cheerful and kept a smile on his face. He was so courteous and helpful! I am lighting this candle in remembrance of Mike and how he lit up our life! He will truly be missed!!! My prayers are with his entire family and friends during this difficult time!
My heart goes out to the family in your time of grief; may your memories bring you comfort. In loving memory of a wonderful person; Mike could brighten your day and make you laugh. He will be truly missed. I light this candle in remembrance of him.

Tammy I'm so sorry I did not know of Mike's illness or passing. I was always real fond of you all and am so sorry. Since Billy's passing I don't take the paper so I did not know until Mary Jo told me. You have my deepest sympathy as I know how it is to lose your mate. Love you all, Miriam Riggin

I was sadden to hear about Mike.That was a Shocker.Our prayers go out to the Upton Family. Wayne and Tommi Jordan Raymond,Ms.
I was truly saddened to hear about Mike. I have been praying for him since I found out he was ill. I can honestly say that I can't think of one negative thing about Mike. He had the most positive personality of anyone I've ever known. He never spoke unkindly about anyone in front of me. He had a special way of making everyone around him happy and full of laughter. He was infectious with his personality. I believe everyone who crosses our path in life does so for a reason. I am glad that I had the opportunity to know Mike while working at Merchants. While I think his life was cut way too short, what a legacy to leave as a person to know that each time someone thinks about who you were they will always do so with a smile. I will continue to pray for your family.
May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Tammy, Amy and Family...I was so heartbroken to hear about Mike. I have so many fond memories of working with him at Quality Foods/PFG Magee. He always had a way to bring laughter to those around him. I recall so many times hearing him talk about his wonderful wife and his lil girl. I ran in to him several months back and of course, I had to catch up on all of you. Know that you all are in my prayers, may God comfort you and give you the inner peace as only He can and may He give you strength in the days to come. Again, I am so, so sorry.
Tammy, Amy and family, we are so sorry for your loss. You will always be in our thoughts and prayers...

I was brokenhearted to hear about Mike. I worked with him at Merchants Foodservice. He always made it such a wonderful place to go to work with all of his shenanigans. He loved life and I know how much his family meant to him. You are all in my thoughts and prayers as you go through this tough time.
My deepest heartfelt condolences goes out to the family of my dear friend Mike. He was truly a blessing to all he encountered. A great friend to talk to about anything, a man that also was willing to go above and beyond to help with any questions or concerns, just a downright god loving great person. I personally have never met a man like Mike, however I'll also never forget him or all the advice or fun times we shared.U my friend will truly be missed and I love you & will see you in heaven. Love Always Misti & Family
