Oh my! Mike and I were friends at 5 years old and played in the field behind his grandfather's store in Conway. I've thought of him and our friendship many times over the years. You are missed old friend.

I met Mike in 10th grade when recruited, by coaches from my P E class, to play football for The Conway High School Wampuscats. He was a great athlete and team leader. I am soo very proud to have known and played on the same team with him. My brother Willie Edwards, who died February 16, 2025 also was a teammate. My sincere and heart felt condolences to his family and friends.
