G. Finney Obituary
Mike enjoyed hunting and fishing when he was younger; looked forward to a good wood working project and helped raise quarter horses. He was passionate about gardening and used his talents to help keep the Barryton Church of God's landscape and flower beds immaculate. He never had a cross bone and even in his weakest state was still thinking of others and whispering "it's wonderful, wonderful, wonderful."
Mike leaves behind his family and friends to celebrate his life, they include: two daughters, Jean (Vernon) Bitler of Barryton and Sharon (William) Kruskie of Anchorage, Alaska; stepdaughters, Judy (Sherrill) Bongard, Jane (Dick) Duffey and Janice Thompson; eight grandchildren, who will continue to remember Mike as the best grandpa in the world; 10 great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces, nephews and friends, that brought joy to his life.
Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, Feb, 1, 2017 at the Barryton Church of God with the family greeting friends beginning at 10 a.m.
The family will greet friends from 4 to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 31 at the Barryton Church of God, 20244 30th Ave.
Memorial donations in Mike's name can be made to the Church of God in Barryton, where he sat on the church board for a number of years. Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to the Daggett Funeral Home in Barryton. Share a memory or leave a condolence online at www.daggettgilbertfuneralhome.com
