Mike loved all sports: especially Atlanta Braves baseball and the Pittsburg Steelers. He enjoyed golf, fishing, and hunting. He will be remembered as a devoted husband, son, brother, brother-in-law, son-in-law, uncle, and a friend to many wonderful people.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Albert and Opal Patton and Bill and Lucille Cress, and an uncle, Bill Cress.
