A dedicated entrepreneur, Michael proudly owned and operated Greenville Hardware & Glass and Com-Tex Services, where he was known not only for his business intellect but also for his honesty, reliability, and deep-rooted commitment to his community.

He also leaves behind his brothers-in-law, Tommy Starkey and wife Nickie, Terry Starkey, and Robert Starkey; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, uncles, and friends who loved and respected him deeply.

He was preceded in death by his grandparents, whose legacy of love and strength helped shape the man he became.

Pallbearers will include Tommy Starkey, Terry Starkey, Robert Starkey, Seth Denham, Richard McHam, Tyler Shepherd, and Jose Garcia.
