There will be a celebration of life service to be held at Hickory Flat Church (4056 E. Cherokee Dr. Canton, GA) on Thursday October 24 ^th . The family will receive friends starting at 6pm and the service will begin at 6:30pm. Dress casually and the family would like for those who attend to wear red in honor of Mike.

Mike was a loving and caring husband, a wonderful and understanding father and a loyal friend. He will surely be missed by all that knew him.

But when you are invited, take the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he will say to you, 'Friend, move up to a better place.' Then you will be honored in the presence of all the other guests. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.

Luke 14:10-11
