Michael Sparks Obituary
Michael was a 1967 graduate of Knightstown High School. In 1972 he married Janet Gray and they spent 50 blessed years together. Mike also served in the United States Army for 2 years. He also completed a short course at Purdue and also worked for INDOT for 35 years.
He was a lifelong farmer in Henry County. When not working around the farm Mike enjoyed antiquing with his wife Janet and could tell you where they found each treasure.
