My brother Mike, oh how he will be missed by all of our family. He was a sweet loving brother, father and a friend to all who knew him. He left a lot of good memories and will never be forgotten for all of the good that he did for his wife, daughter and for his new granddaughter that he only knew for a very short time. He was a good friend and banker to many citizens of the Anderson community.

Love forever to Mike,
Marie (Bridges) Hursey

I was so sad to hear of the passing of Mike, I met him while I worked at the chiropractic office . He was such a nice man , because of him I decided to use Grandsouth as my bank, everytime I went there and took my nieces with me he would always make an effort to talk to those girls and make sure they got a treat and a drink. It was an honor to meet such an intelligent man . Mike Bridges will surely be missed. Jeanette G Burris

Mike and the staff at GrandSouth made one feel almost like family. His spark will truly be missed. It was a pleasure to do business with him as well as for him.

My husband and I went to high school with Mike and we also did business with him through the years at several banks. Mike and I were also neighbors during our school years. It was so obvious that he adored his family and its tragic you lost him too soon. He was a joy to know and he will also be missed by all of us whose lives he touched during his journey here on earth.

To know Mike Bridges was to love him. We loved you guys as neighbors – Taylor was half ours as P.J. was part yours. Oh my, some wonderful time we shared. I can see Mike in the yard working with Taylor riding on his shoulders now. She had us all around her tiny little finger but OH was she ever Daddy's girl! He loved you two girls with every breath he took. I am so very sorry he has left us – what this earth has lost – heaven has certainly gained. We send our love, care and condolences.
