Mike was born April 7, 1960 and passed from this life July 9, 2020 at the age of 60.
He was as good of a man as they come! A great Christian, always caring about others, always bigger than life, always full of laughs & always a dear friend. He was soooo proud of Benjamin and loved his family, and often bragged on them even though he was so talented himself.
He enjoyed fishing and he got to catch a lot of big fish the past few weeks. But more that, He LOVED people, and having family and friends over for visits, and always taking the time to talk and check in.
He was always very appreciative of even the smallest of things. He was perceptive, often noticing the small things in others as well; wondering if they were feeling well or little down and he would go talk to them, often giving them a call of encouragement.
He was every child’s favorite with that pocket full of candy!
He was the big brother to many, a worshipper of God, and a friend to all.
The author David Viscott penned it so well...
“To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides.” Mike was loved by family, friends, and all those who knew him.
We Know without a doubt, that he stepped into Glory fully-healed, Singing the house down, Smiling & Rejoicing in the forever of God’s Heavenly Sunlight! His love will shine on.
Mike is preceded in death by his parents, James and Mary Sanderson; brothers, William Bill Sanderson, and Howard Irvin Sanderson; nephew, Darryl Dewayne Sanderson.
