So sorry to hear of the sudden passing of our friend, Mike. We have known him since we met him several years ago at our church in Howell, TN. He had a fine sense of humor and always had a big smile for everyone. We will miss his empy place in the pew in front of us, but we know he is with his Heavenly family and our Lord and is now smiling with the angels there.
Our deepest sympathy. C F and Charlotte

I was crushed to hear this news. All the memories of my first love came flooding back to me. Mike was a great guy and I have so many wonderful memories that will never be forgotten. I had just run across our prom picture a few days go and showed it to my daughter. Rest in peace Mike and I pray for peace for your family during this difficult time.
Mike I was so saddened to hear this news. I believe you had a great soul and a funny personality. We work together for several years and to me you became part of my family. I loved you like a brother along with Rick and Heath. I just want you to know I will miss you my friend. God bless you and your family. Till we meet on the other side peace be with you!
Rick, Heath, and all your family…. Ray & I send our deepest sincere sympathy for y’all during this most difficult time…. Mike has always been so nice to me when I would see him away from HB…always greeting me when I drive I drove onto car lot….. He will be missed!!
God please lay your comforting hand upon the Tate family…..
Freddy, keeping you and the boys in our thoughts and prayers.
