You will be missed my friend. I have not been back to Macon in a long time and I just found out about your passing. Mike was the kind of man that all of us want and need to be. He always had a smile when you met him and lit up your day just to talk to him for a few minutes. I am so sorry for your loss Becky. I still remember the times at the haunted house with him. RIP my dear friend.

Mike Carpenter was the best lawyer and friend anyone could ever ask for. I cannot believe it has been five years since your passing. You have been greatly missed, my friend. I'm sure you know that Larry passed away in 2018 and hope you have renewed your friendships. I surely needed you a million times in this past year. You always had such a sweet smile and calming manner. Thank you again for all you did for my family as our lawyer. Just know that you have not been forgotten and that we still appreciate you in so many ways.

June 18, 2014
Becky and family: Something made me decide to look up Mike and then I was stunned to find this news. The many expressions of love and admiration is a testament to Mike and is entirely the way I knew Mike during our years working at City Hall. We both worked for Gen. McKenna as brand new lawyers. We enjoyed our time together and there is no doubt Mike had the right position because he was a great listener and always jovial with an easy smile and a comfortable manner which allowed him to deal with the many personalities in and around City Hall. I regret not having kept up with him since I left Macon in 1978. The measure of a life is not in how long we live but in how we live. By that standard, Mike lived a very long and happy life. Though he is no longer here, give thanks for his life and the many happy times you had with him. I don't know if I ever saw so many messages and outpouring of sympathy. May God bless you in his absence. "Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted". Claim that promise in these days. Rick Hasty, Miami, Florida

I am so sad about this. Mike and I served as Region Directors together....I was Region 4 and he Region 9...he was a great Jaycee and a great leader...he gave me a run for my money as I was striving to keep the number 1 position...but it was a great and fun year he made me a better Region Director. My prayers are going out to his family and I truly wish I could be at his funeral...heaven has received a wonderful man. He will truly be missed by many and it is too bad we don't get to see that person one more time to tell them how much you appreciate and care for their friendship.
My heart is so sad upon reading this.

I am so sorry to hear of Mike's passing Having worked in the legal field for many years I had the pleasure of meeting Mike years ago when we worked in the same building. When you would see him in the elevator or on the street he was always very friendly and I never saw him when he did not have a smile on his face! His passing will leave a void in not only his family and friends lives but the legal community as well.

I am so sorry for your loss. May god bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Your father was a great person. He just always struck me as an "all around good guy". I went through so much turmoil at one point in my life...and even though he was not directly involved...he comforted me and my family and made us laugh! Later- I found out that I worked with his daughter. I was amazed at how much they were alike. Both so solid, strong and caring... and well... just LIKABLE. You could tell they were both genuine. Even though I only knew him briefly...I am glad to say that he has left a wonderful legacy.

I knew him through his love of the Georgia Southern Eagles and enjoyed visiting with him at virtually every sporting event. He was always very concerned about how I was doing and it meant so much to me that he was genuinely committed to making sure everyone around him was enjoying themselves. I will truly miss seeing him, but know that he will always be watching over his Eagles. God bless you all and I hope that peace finds you very soon.

To the Family of Mike:
Mike was such a wonderful man. I worked at the Clerk's office and knew him well. Whenever we needed an attorney for someone who did not have a lot of money and who desperately needed an attorney, we would call Mike. He was such a compassionate man and one of my favorite attorneys. He always had a smile for everyone. And every Christmas he would share his kindness by providing a lunch for our Clerk's office. I know he loved his family very much. I will truly miss him and I will keep all his family in my prayer.
My sincerest condolence to his entire family.
