Mike relocated to Cincinnati, Ohio with his parents at the age of 7. He graduated from Robert A. Taft High School. Mike left home in 1967 to serve in the United States Army during the Vietnam War.

He attended First Missionary Baptist Church where he served as an usher.

He was surrounded by the love and support of his family everyday, including his Cincinnati family which he communicated with almost daily throughout the years. Each laugh, adventure, comforting thought, and undertaking of support was a true testimony to their bond and love for one another. Music was Mike’s passion and one of his favorite pastimes was signing with and for his family.
