I worked with Mike at Russellville many years ago. He was always friendly and supportive of teachers and students. Mike lifted up other teachers and was so kind to the students when he was an administrator. My prayers are with his wife and children.
Just got word of Mike's passing. I worked for him at Russellville Middle School. He was great with the kids. I found him to be a fantastic boss and easy to work for. My prayers are with the family.
I was shocked to hear about Mike's passing today. I knew Mike as an educator and a very good one at that. He was respected and well-liked by all those who knew him. He was truly one of the good guys! I am deeply saddend by his passing. My thoughts and prayers go out to Mike's family.

Well I tell ya .Mike was honestly just a genuinely good guy . Not many like that . I always thought that of him . He never had a ugly word or action towards anyone that I’m aware of and always treated everyone he met with respect . I’ll always remember him as part of the “Squad” a good basketball and football player. Mike will be truly missed.. RIP brother!
Mike was like a brother to me and there is not enough time or space to list all the fun we had. I will miss him so badly. He was a friend and a supporter in troubled times and never failed to be there when needed.
All my prayers and hopes for his family to find peace in his absence until we see him again.
