I remember this young man years ago when we went to school together, he had a kind and gentle spirit! My prayers to the Goodley family! So sorry 🙏Lashaunda Brown

Good people pass away; the godly often die before their time. But no one seems to care or wonder why. No one seems to understand that God is protecting them from the evil to come. For those who follow godly paths will rest in peace when they die. ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭57:1-2‬ ‭

A great man will be missed! I will remember Mike for his kindness, humor, and positive attitude. May God watch over and comfort your family. Smooth sailing Mike! -Adam Whipple-
