Mike was born on October 11, 1989, in Cheyenne, Wyoming to Wendell & Renae Whitlock. He married Lindsey Miller on September 2, 2012. Mike was a person of deep Christian faith and attended Tolar Stonewater Church. He had a deep love for the outdoors and a lifelong fascination with the weather. He found joy in traveling, especially on spontaneous adventures, and treasured simple moments like tossing a ball with his son. An avid fisherman and experienced catfish guide, he found peace on the water and fulfillment in sharing that passion with others.
He was a kind and generous soul who never met a stranger and was always quick to offer a helping hand. To his wife, he was her greatest supporter, her rock, and her soft place to land. He was a devoted and loving father-he adored his son and loved the step children as his own, always present with encouragement, laughter, and unconditional love. His heart was immense-he loved his family fiercely, provided for them without hesitation, and never missed a chance to spoil them with love.
He quickly became a beloved part of his wife's family, building strong bonds with his in-laws, who loved and cherished him deeply. His presence brought warmth and connection, and he was embraced not just as a son-in-law, but as one of their own.
A beloved brother and a devoted son himself, not only a son but a best friend to his dad, a strong bond filled with love and devotion to his mom, he held deep respect and affection for his siblings, parents and grandparents. He was a friend to all, a steady presence, and someone whose warmth, humor, and spirit will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
Mike is survived by his wife, Lindsey; his children, Kayson Whitlock, Abigail Jones, Daylon French & Aubrey French; his parents, Wendell & Renae Whitlock; siblings, Natalia Keenan and husband Kevin Keenan, Adam Whitlock and wife Monica Whitlock; his in-laws, Terry & Janet Miller; brother-in-law, Brant Miller; and by his paternal grandfather, Thomas Whitlock.
Mike was preceded in death by his grandparents, JoAnn Whitlock and Frank & Carol Dorries.
