Michael Edmonds Obituary

MICHAEL I. EDMONDS, 59, passed away Tuesday, August 1, 2006 after a valiant fight against cancer. Mike was born on November 14, 1946, to N.E. and Oree McMinn Edmonds. He grew up in Tyler and Killeen, Texas. While he was known as a sports and news broadcaster to many, having worked at KTRH, KPRC and KILT Radio, Mike's joy was his family. Mike is survived by his wife, Geri Konigsberg; daughters Christi Edmonds(fiancé Mark Ortiz) and Sharon Bosley (husband Chris Bosley) and their mother Elsie Spake; much beloved grandsons Tanner and Kyler Bosley; parents-in-law Isaac and Anne Konigsberg; special cousin Patricia Langford and other relatives. Mike is predeceased by his parents and former radio partner Anita Martini. The family would like to thank Dr. Garrett Lynch for his care during Mike's battle against cancer. A heartfelt thank you is extended to Dr. Tony Lin. Angie and Elizabeth, and Dr. Robert Blair, who treated Mike's diabetes over the past 20 years and who became his friends as well as his physicians. Mike and Geri are also grateful to his current employer, The City of Houston Police Department and in particular, Tommie Allen, Sgt. Crane, Captain Reddy, and Chief Hurtt, for their support during the past two years. A memorial service will be held on Friday, August 4, 2006 at 2 pm at The Settegast-Kopf Co. Funeral Directors, 15015 Southwest Freeway at Williams Trace, Sugar Land, TX Mike enjoyed playing Santa each year for the children at the UTHCPC, so, in lieu of flowers, Mike would have preferred you contribute to UTHCPC Volunteer Services, 2800 South MacGregor Way, Room 3A 31 Houston, 77021 or the charity of your choice.

In Memory of Mike
11/14/46 – 8/1/06
If roses grow in heaven Lord,
then pick a bunch for me;
Place them in my daddy's arms
and tell him they are from me.

Tell him that I love and miss him,
and when he turns to smile,
Place a kiss on his cheek
and hold him for a while!
... We love and miss you every day.
You are in our hearts and our prayers.
Christi, Sharon, Chris, Mark, Tanner, Kyler and me

Mikey,
Today would have been our 26th wedding anniversary. I remember our first date, the day you proposed, our wedding, and all of the days in between. I will always love you, Mikey, and you will always be in my heart.

Mike and I were in choir together from Jr High through High School. We were fortunate to be a part of a great senior class at Killeen High. Mike entertained us all with his beautiful bass voice and great personality.

My prayers are with you all.

God Bless you.

Dear Geri and Family,

I have known Mike since we were in 7th grade at Rancier Junior High in Killeen. Mike was always sweet, gentle and delightful. We sang together in school and church choirs for six years. I will always remember him with great fondness and respect.



May God bless you in this time of loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Mike was liked by all and gave us many enjoyable memories of his beautiful voice whether in choir or school plays.

Dear Geri and Family,



Mike was a warm, caring colleague and a professional who could be talent in New York or any other major market.



Mike, during the time we were both at KTRH told about an early life bout with cancer.



We offer our prayers for Mike, you, the daughters and you, his wife.



Blessings,

Mike and Anita were always gracious hosts to the numerous tennis players I brought to the KPRC radio station. We missed him when he left radio, and we'll miss him now. My sincere sympathy to his family.

Mike came on the scene at KTBB as I was leaving in 1974. I know he enjoyed much popularity at his job in Tyler. It's hard to find a news person these days who gets much respect. Seems like Mike got a lot of it.

Geri and Family... Mike was so special in the way he approached his work. He and Anita were a joy to ride home with each afternoon...His Cougar broadcast were without equal. Our prayers are with you all..

Geri and family -



I am very saddened to hear the news about Mike. He was a wonderful man. My sister, Anita, would always talk about some of their great moments on the talk show together.

She, I am sure, has saved him a place right next to her and she is probably talking his ear off.
