During his time apart from the area and his family, he never lost the love in his heart for his family. This season of life is over, and a new season has begun. Today, our family have found comfort in knowing that at the end of Micheal’s season, our Heavenly Father was there to guide him to his final home.

He was educated in the Glynn County public school system. At an early age, he was baptized at Mt. Olive Baptist Church. There are many things in life that brought joy to Micheal’s life.
