Mike Hamill passed away peacefully at his home in Palestine, Texas on January 17, 2025, after a courageous battle with cancer, at the age of 53. His wife Brittany was by his side, where she remained through his battle.
Mike was born on July 16, 1971, to Bob and Linda (Karnes) Hamill in Odessa, Texas. He was the middle child of five children. He learned to be observant by watching his older brothers. He was a protector for his younger siblings, learning to be compassionate and nurturing, but stern. These traits carried him into a career in retail management and being a correctional officer. These traits also shaped him as a father. Mike is the father of six children and grandfather of two; he cherished his family. Playful and loving, he strived to instill strong family values as a provider and example. He met the love of his life, Brittany, in 2008.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Bob and Linda Hamill and a brother, Robert Hamill.
Mike is survived by his wife, Brittany; children, Brittani, Brayson, Micah, Abbie, Ayden and Ava; granddaughters Alexandria Elise and Adalynn Rayne; and siblings Bobby, Amber, and Mitchell.
