Mike Lord

Michael Gene Lord entered into the presence of his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on August 21, 2025, after a long illness. Mike's warmth, kindness, and unwavering spirit touched all who had the privilege of knowing him. Born on September 8, 1957, in Fort Worth, Texas, Mike grew up in Arlington, Texas. He graduated from Lamar High School and attended the University of Texas at Arlington, followed by careers in the restaurant and financial services industries. Mike was a devoted follower of Christ and worshiped at CityBridge Community Church in Plano, Texas. He was a loving son, father, grandfather, and brother. He loved music and sports and was an avid golfer. Mike has been reunited in Heaven with his father, Paul Lord. Left to cherish his memory are his mother Kaye Lord; daughter Lauren Lord-Smith and her mother, Patti Gurun; grandchildren Jack and Cammie Kovalic; siblings and spouses Jon and Joan (Baltes) Lord, David and Jinger (Hamel) Lord, Nancy Lord; nieces and nephews Adam, Micah, Elizabeth, Jessica, and Justin; and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. As we bid farewell to Mike, we take solace in the knowledge that his was a life of love and faith. He has left this earth for his heavenly home, where he surely was greeted with the words, "Well done, good and faithful servant." We will miss his gentle presence among us but are comforted by the memories that will forever hold a special place in our hearts. A memorial service to honor and celebrate Mike's life will be held on Thursday, September 11 at 1:00 pm, at CityBridge Community Church in Plano, Texas, with a reception following. Family and friends are invited to attend and share memories.
