David Michael Stratton

I was honored to know Mike through two employers - he was an agent of ours at Appalachian National Life Insurance Company before the home office in Knoxville closed and he was a client of ours at Brown Jake & McDaniel, PC, the accounting firm I now work for. My deepest condolences to the family and all those who knew and loved him.

So sad to see of Mike's passing. I have enjoyed his boasting of his many family members, especially his grandchildren while I cut his hair. I will miss him.

We will miss Mike, our brother in Christ, and our warmest wishes are extended to Jane and the rest of his family. He was a real gentleman who would step up to serve others and the world is a better place because Mike was with us. May he rest in peace and rise in glory.

I still have trouble getting back on a tube behind a boat. Hanging out in the basement playing pool. Being sure of what my mom would do to me if I called her and said I had messed up my car again. I got to the house and begged your dad to call her for me.Without hesitation he did call. Told her to not be...

I've lost my brother and best friend!
