Mike was a simple man; he was not interested in material things. He was a crew boat captain for many years. He was also a security guard, fisherman, and a musician. He enjoyed fishing, gardening, playing on his Martin guitar, drawing, and painting. He loved to cook and make homemade ice cream. Mike was a jokester, he loved making up his own words. One of his favorite things to say was, “I lurd dat”. He loved his kids and grandkids very much. His grandkids gave him lots of joy and he loved seeing them.
The family would like to express our sincere thanks to Chateau Terrebonne, TGMC CCU, TGMC nurses and doctors, and Dr. Patrick Walker.
Samart Funeral Home of Houma, West Park, LLC is in charge of the arrangements.
