To the family, I am so very sorry for your loss. Mike was a great guy, always a smile on his face. I will miss him dearly, he was a good friend. May the Lord give comfort to all who knew him. 🙏❤️
So sorry to hear of him passing away. Such a friendly neighbor. If I saw him at the Neighborhood Market or anywhere he always had a smile on his face.
Sad to hear about Mike. I am the late Michael Goodwin’s widow. Mike T and I knew Mike very, very well during other times in his life.
I am glad to hear of his beloved family relationships.
Mike T and I were around during the time he got “Bobbi”. “Bobbi”and our beloved “Chance” had many a roppin’ fun times on our Mt Gaylor – Winslow AR – mountain home. He stayed with us on our mountain home for some time. We had fun times on and off the mountain home such as deer camp and other camping activities, partying with him at various places in Fayetteville, and his mother sharing her hospitality inviting us to dinner at her and her family’s place and her sending us some of her delicious home desserts.
Although some of our meeting ups later on throughout the years were not those one would call “welcoming times”, I am truly saddened upon finding of Mike’s passing away.
Wishing his family and friends my sincere condolences during your present and days to follow grieving moments through all your shared memories of Mike.
Sincerely,
Deborah Goodwin
