View Tribute Book

"He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death' or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away". Romans: 8:38-39

Remember me in your heart: Your thoughts, and your memories, Of the times we loved the times we cried, the times we fought, the times we laughed. For if you always think of me, I will never have gone.

After enduring several health challenges and running a good race, God decided it was time for our beloved Milton Michael, affectionately known as "MALT" to come home.

Milton Michael was born November 22, 1948, to the late Willie Lee and the late Letha M. Johnson in Puckett, MS. His love for Brick Masonry earned him the nickname "Malt". His passion for horses and the outdoors gave him peace of mind. His love for family and friends was always present, especially when you told him it was your Birthday. He always generously gave you a nice crisp $5 bill.

Milton will be missed by many people. However, he will truly be missed with unforgettable memories by his significant other Earlene "Tiny" Griffin; his children; Connie Michael, Marlon Williams (April), Carlos Singleton, Samuel "Buddy" Michael, and Michelle Michael. Milton Michael Jr., Ronnie Michael, and Jeremy Singleton preceded him in death. Fond memories of Milton will be cherished by his siblings Bertha Taylor, Dr. Theresia Johnson-Ratliff, William Michael (Jeanette), Patricia (Donald) Tolliver, and Jacqueline (Tommy) Milton. Others sharing in the love and joyful memories of Milton are a host of grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Milton will also be remembered affectionately by a host of nephews, nieces, cousins, friends, and associates.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
