Mike enjoyed a successful career at Pricewa- terhouse Coopers Accounting Firm as a Myadminconcierge (MAC) Specialist.
Mike was baptized and added to the church at the age of 10 and had been faithful until death. Singing and serv- ing others brought him the ut- most joy. His love for music and the Lord’s Church resulted in him becoming the Minister of Music for his home congre- gation at the Southside Church of Christ in Tampa, Florida. Mike, at an early age enjoyed helping people in need, that at- titude continued throughout his life into adulthood.
He soon developed the eye
for event planning, hospitality and formed his business, Mic_Chec Productions. Mike was known to put his signature style to all events he directed. He performed several very suc- cessful events and became the Assistant Director of the Hospi- tality Committee at Southside Church of Christ. He was known for his kindness and would share anything he had with anyone. Michael shared love, wisdom and encourage- ment to all that came in contact with him.
