Mindy and I extend our deepest sympathies for your loss. I was honored to have worked side by side with Hawk during a number of dart tournaments and in the league, and I was proud to call him a friend. I know words are of little comfort during times like this, but please know you are in our thoughts and prayers, and if there’s anything we can do to make things even a little easier, please let us know.
I remember when he and my girl’s dad played in a band together. They had so much fun. We had some good times together before the girl’s were born. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends. He will be missed by the Community in Fayetteville. R.I.P. Mike Hawkins (aka Hawk).
Love n God Bless his family,
Lisa D. Bradley Evans
