Jul 17, 1946 – Jul 15, 2021 (Age 74)
Michael passed away peacefully at Highland Hospice, he was preceded in death by his parents, Edna and Lee Warren and siblings, Barbara (John) McDaniels, Lee Jr, Betty Barnette and Melody Sue Sisk. Surviving Gale (Robert) Shell Valerie (Frank) Mullally, Richard, and Nancy (Cecil) Keller. Dozens of nieces and nephews.
Mike was known around the neighborhood as a friend to the downtrodden. If he knew someone had fallen on hard times, he reached out to them. He was a man rich with life experiences and enjoyed sharing them with his neighbors as much as they enjoyed listening to them.
Michael loved music and working with his hands. He had a gruff exterior, but was forever taking in strays, dogs, cats and mostly people.
Thoughtful care and services provided by E. S. ELEY & SONS FUNERAL CHAPEL.
Michael was our neighbor and dear friend. My husband and I spent many evenings on his porch talking with him about anything and everything. We will miss you Mike. The good time's we shared will always be remembered with love and laughter. Farewell my friend...until we meet again.❤
