Michael Hall Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Bates Cooper Sloan Funeral Home - Mount Pleasant on Feb. 12, 2026.
We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Michael Ray Hall on February 9, 2026 in Talco.

After serving in the United States Navy, he drove trucks and worked in the East Texas oil fields.

He enjoyed hunting and fishing more than anything else, but more recently he had become more of a squirrel whisperer than a hunter. And everyone in the family knew of his generosity – to the point he would give you the shirt off his back.

Mike is survived by his loving family - sisters Carol Sue Whitney, Deborah Waddell (and husband Chris Waddell), Guy Nell Lawrence, Freida Andrews, sister-in-law Mary Jo Hall plus numerous cousins, nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents Dured and Guylene Hall; sisters Elaine Ewing, Donna Kay Jones and Becky Hall; brother Steve Hall; and brothers-in-law Charles Whitney, Danny Jones and Ronnie Lawrence.

A private memorial service for the family will be held at a future date when his ashes will be interred at Talco Cemetery.

An online registry is now available at batescoopersloanfuneralhome.com
