The world has lost a truly good man.
Before I became a State Farm Agent, Mike was someone I looked up too, as a friend and mentor. As successful as he was, he was always willing to share and inspire. He followed my career and occasionally sent words of encouragement, I hope he knew how much he meant to everyone who was fortunate enough to know him.
Bless Crystie and the entire family.
Miss you Mike! Cindy.

We've lost a very special friend to Athens, one who made a most positive difference through all he did, from his office to his music to his extensive community network and friends. Mike always stepped forward to help causes, to give of his clever musical talents, and to always extend a hand and a smile to all he met. Thank you, Mike. Through your music and our memories, we will never forget you . . .
