Mike Gannon Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Mike was born January 11, 1968 in Shelby County. He graduated from Shelby County High School in 1987. Mike's career path would take him on a journey to find entrepreneurship in auto body repair and pave the way for his dream to have his own barbecue restaurant. He would fulfill that dream with Tin Top BBQ.
To know Mike was to love him, he was a friend to everyone he met. He was loved by many and will be missed in our town and our hearts deeply. His accomplishments are great, but the legacy he leaves behind with the people he crossed paths with will be remembered the most.
Mike is preceded in death by his father: Mickey Gannon. He is survived by his beloved wife: Donna Gannon; his daughter: Jennifer Green (Allen); his son Chase Gannon (Kristina); his grandchildren: Braylen, Judson and Saylor Green, and Sadie Gannon; his family: Debbie and Phillip Willis, his mother: Julia Gannon; his sisters: Lisa Gould (Keith) and Michelle Gannon; his brother: Shawn Gannon; and his amazing Tin Top family, Local family, and a host of other family and friends. All were very special in their own way to him and he cherished every relationship.

I've heard the name Big Mike from my mother in law Lois Miller for years, she talked about all the good times they shared when she worked for the Graham's in Calera.
When Mr. Mike bought Tin Top BBQ, I had the pleasure of getting to know him through the company I work for. Mr. Mike was a very kind and generous man, he has a very special place in my heart and always will. He will surely be missed by all who knew and loved him.

A place or activity that reminds me of Mike is enduring Alabama football games at the lake house with him, the precious Willises, my dear friend Donna and my rabid Bammer husband, Mark. I am blessed to have been able to do that frequently. And I will miss him.

A special memory is when I was at the lake house doing a little painting therapy and we shared some laughs and candy cigarettes.
