Mikell and have been friends since 5th grade. Looking back I can remember the fun we had, the capers we pulled, and the future we dreamed of like it was yesterday. He was my companion for a lot of great times. He married the love of his life about 40 yrs ago. That in itself is pretty special. Wish I could have one last visit, old friend. Love and condolences to the Foxworth family.

He was a fine Christian man and will be truly missed.Although the Lord has called him home I know that the pain of him being gone will be with us all.May GOD please you in this time and comfort you.

Mike will be greatly missed. His smile and laugh would light up a room. He helped me so many times with the many state and region tournament we hosted at Bryan County High School. His contribution to the children of Pembroke and Pembroke as a whole can not be replaced. Thank you Mike. Many prayers go out to Vicki and all of Mike's family.

I'm so very sorry for the loss of Mr. Mike Foxworth. I attended Olive Branch Baptist Church in Ellabell, and that's where I met him. I was a member there for about 10 years or so, and he would visit off and on. He was always so kind to me, and he was a joy to be around. I will miss him dearly, I love you all. I'm very sorry again. - Adam Jarriel
