Well Dad 2024 was a roller-coaster of a year. Legend and Lily started school, Legend took up swim, played baseball,and soccer for his 1st year, we purchased our 2nd fleet, signed what could be the biggest deal of our lives, Letha became a Grandma so that makes you a Great Uncle of a beautiful little girl we call Ray-Ray, your Sister is over the moon,we have been blessed to have Mikey home for 2 years, but our biggest blessing was Grandpa (Your Dad) pull through and is back to rollin like he's 35. You're truly missed by us ALL. I Love you so much! XOXOXO

P.S. Our country dodge a big one and voted the right way. I can imagine you wearing all the Trump gear!

Mind.I remember him well when I was younger when I would go and visit my mom Mary and I got to see Mike he would alway wrestle with me and play with me I remember his two kids they were young plus I was named after him

Well Pops I had a boy his name is Legend. He was born on the 20th. It was a rough delivery to say the least. I wish you was here to meet him and share this bundle of joy with me. I know you would be the coolest grandpa ever. He looks like Travis but has a few of our signature looks like when he gets mad the eyebrows come together and his forehead wrinkles up, he hates his nose to be touched, and has the most beautiful blue eyes. He wasn't born with much hair which I was happy about because I wanted a bald baby. Remember how cute i was as a bald baby.. Grandpa George stopped by to visit and hold him. I look after him just like I always promised I would. We are really close hes a man I can go to and talk about anything with. He reminds me so much of you. I no you are my guardian angel so I no Legend will always have one as well. Sounds weird but your a Grandpa and I'm a mom. I love u Pops till we meet again I will miss you everyday, think about the what if, and maybes. Love your daughter and grandson.

Your Mini Me

February 26, 2020

Well dad your going to be a Grandpa. I know your not here but I have so many stories to tell and pictures to show my baby. I will tell he or she how you are one of the most fearless men I knew, one of the most craziest men I ever met, but a man with a big heart, a man who would give you his last dollar if you needed, a man who no matter what we was going through I could call on, the way you laughed, or how our foreheads and nose wrinkles the same when we don't like something, how you only needed a few things to survive, material things never matter to you, how growing up you allowed me to make mistakes but had my back and loved me no matter what, how you was a true ride a die man, where my attitude come from, how your mom was your world, how you was so good at pin ball, pac man, mortal combat, tetris, dong kong, mario brothers, cards and shooting dice, the way you had your hands in a little of everything, your mechanic skills, your stubbornness, your walk which if I have a boy I hope he gets I could tell it was you from a mile away head held high arms little bowed, how you knew you was gods gift, the way you demanded respect whether someone liked you or not, how you didn't sweat the small stuff, how you was a good friend, the way you skipped through the radio you could be signing Too Short one minute and Tim McGraw the next, there so much I will have to tell my little one. It kills me my baby will never get to meet you because I know you would of been the coolest grandpa. He or she is going to miss out on the harley rides to school, you allowing he or she do what I would never allow, learning how it is to live free spirited. But one thing is for sure I will make sure he or she knows your name and what you was about. I love you DAD aka soon to be Grandpa. P.S. My due date is 4 days before your birthday wouldn't that be something if I have a boy on your birthday?

December 31, 2017

Pops i never in a day thought this would ever happen.. You have always been by my side and helped me. Always gave me the best advice. You came into my life right after i lost my father and i took you in as my pops like you said im your kid too. It breaks my heart not seeing you driving around anymore coming by and telling me about whats going on just hanging out and having conversations always laughing and smiling drinking pepsi or coffee with a cigarette. I hope you rest easy. And you get to see my dad so the 2 men that made such a big compact in my life can chill together like we would. You are and always will be a wonderful man with a beautiful soul. A smile that will forever be missed.. Im thankful that i was able to meet you and be lucky enough to build a relationship with you like we have. Now i will forever miss you always love you and always be in my heart. I love you pops

Kimme Calhoun

December 30, 2017

Michael I don't know how to put into words everything you meant to me, but you knew just like I knew. You will forever have a place in my heart that is a given. And I thank you for leaving me a part of you in each of our children. To say I loved you and that I will miss you goes beyond those words. I will always be here for our babies but you already know that too. You weren't only my Husband but you were my friend. Tell Mom I done the best I could to keep my promise to her and that I was always here for you even when you made it hard to be. I know nothing will ever be the same without you and I know change is in the future I just trying to grasp how I do that without you. Rest in Peace My Love until we meet again. Love forever your Wife Kimme

Mike, the older I get, the less I understand life. I'll never understand why you had to leave so early. But know this, I will never forget you. Remember when Renee, Reatha and I would have sleepovers at your house. My BIG Brother, your home now, but one day I will visit you again. Until then, I will miss and remember your beautiful smile and laugh. Miss and Love you, R.I.P.

I'm so sad. Words can not explain how thankful I was for you when I was down there in Modesto with no place to go and you not really even knowing me all that well took me in and let me stay with you until I went back to Vics. You were a great friend. A great person in all. You were always talking about Kimmie and how great she was I was lucky to meet to her Kimmie i'm sorry for your loss. I know that he loved you very much. Mike thank you for all you did for me thank you for being such a great friend you will be missed. Gone but never forgotten...Say hi to Jerry Jones for me.
