Michael was also preceded in death by his devoted wife, Joeretta Butler Garner, on September 18, 2018; three children, Angie Nance, Ben Garner and Sarah Garner; and one grandson, Logan Garner.

He leaves behind to cherish his memory four grandchildren, Zachary Lenix Nance, Megan Loy, Kelsey Nance, and Holly Nance; two sisters, Judy Maze and husband LaVerne and Donna Jean Dickerson and husband Timmy, all of Salt Lick; two brothers, Jerry Ray Garner of Salt Lick and Roger Dale Garner of Tennessee, as well as extended family and friends, including special friend, Lee Allen.

Michael was a retired construction worker and greatly enjoyed the outdoors. He was an avid fisherman and never tired of operating his radio-controlled vehicles. He will be greatly missed and fondly remembered.
