Paul Michael McJunkin of Spring, Texas passed away September 24, 2025 at the age of 75. He was born in the Heights area of Houston, Texas on January 17, 1950. He was a graduate of John H. Reagan High School and the University of Houston with a B.A. in English Literature. He was employed with the University of Houston as a Computer Programmer for 48 years. He was an accomplished woodworker where he exhibited and sold his works of art; furniture, bowls, and kitchen utensils at the juried art festival of The Woodlands Waterway Art Festival.

Mike is preceded in death by his parents William Oscar McJunkin and Esther Lucille McJunkin, his half-brother James Russell Eldridge and his half-sister Nancy Geohagen. He is survived by his wife, Nancy, his sons, Chris, Jeremy and his wife Denise; granddaughter Lillian, two brothers-in-laws plus cousins, extended family, and friends.

He was an avid lover of woodworking, his long bike rides along the trails, his love of music and last, but not least, his absolute love of all kinds of food.
