Mike, age 81, went to his heavenly home on Wednesday, January 31, 2024. He was a native and lifelong resident of Hammond, LA. He was a strong quiet man who loved the outdoors; hunting, fishing, and his favorite of all 'rabbit hunting'. Mike was a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend who is already dearly missed by all who knew and loved him.
Mike is survived by his loving wife of 35 years, Dona Jane Kent-Puma; sons, Skye Kent Puma (Emily), Michael Wayne Puma (Gina); grandson, Haden Michael Puma; sisters-in-law, Denise Mitchell (Wayne), and Darla Howard (Bill); brothers-in-law, Don Kent (Kathy), and Duke Kent.
Mike is preceded in death by his parents, Guy Jr. and Mary Puma; sister, Kathleen Chaucer; and brother Guy Puma III.
A private service and burial will be held.
