MICHAEL PRING Obituary
Michael leaves behind his son, "Little Travis", His mother and father, Pam and Travis Pring; brothers Dean Williamson (wife Bridget), Freddie Allen and Daniel Pring (wife Ashley); sisters Amy White (husband David) and Kelly Montemayor; Grandparents Wendell and Marilyn Sweet, and Lyn Mitchell. A host of nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends will all miss him terribly.
His beloved grandparents, Richard and Norma Lee Pring preceded him in death.
Michael graduated from La Porte High School in 2004 and joined the U.S. Army in 2010.
Ask anyone about Michael and the first thing they will do is laugh. That was his gift. He made us laugh, sometimes in the most inappropriate situations. He could make anyone smile. Michael just never realized his own value to his family and friends.
Michael's greatest love was his son, Travis.
Michael also loved music. He played percussion and guitar and loved being a member of the band " Dedman Sinclair".
Other things that defined Michael were his tattoos, his Adidas clothes (!), his various ball caps, his phone, and his love of junk food.
Michael struggled with emotional highs and lows and a sadness that nobody or nothing could quite pull him out of. His time in the Army was a new beginning. When he wore his uniform, he stood taller and prouder than ever. He was so proud to serve his country, and he was looking forward to a future that would make his son proud.
Michael was a father, son, grandson, soldier, brother, nephew, cousin, and uncle. He will always be loved, always be missed, and always be remembered with a smile.
A visitation with the family will begin today from 2-6pm in the Compean Main Chapel. Funeral Services are scheduled for Monday, November 28, at 10am in the Main Chapel. Interment will follow in Houston National Cemetery.

Mr. and Mrs. Pring,
My name is Peggy Murphy and I worked with Mike during his employment with GEO Specialty Chemicals. I am the Office Administrator and HR Rep. I was not aware that Mike had joined the military but when I was made aware that he had joined the Army I understood that is was so he could have a fresh start in life. The time I knew Mike he was going through a very difficult time in his life and we would speak at length in trying to help him get through the hard times. I guess what I remember most about Mike were his beautiful eyes and the love he had for his son. On numerous occasions he came by my office just to share pictures of his Little Travis and was always beaming with pride as he would tell me stories about him. I am so, so sorry for your loss. Please know that I will be praying for you and your family during this very difficult time.
With deepest sympathy,
James McCauley
