Knew Mike from a little boy at Second Christian Church in Houston. Renewed our relationship at Dallas Christian College when I served Aldine Christian Church as youth minister in the school year of '72-73. Visited Mike as he served as minister in Canadian, TX. My dad and his dad went to high school together. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Karen.
Summer of '72 by Andy Harris
Summer of '72 Mike and I worked for his dad installing insulation and interned at Aldine Christian Church. Mike, is there "Spam" in heaven? Thankful for the opportunities God gave us over the years just to spend a little time together.
A great older brother. Words can't express how much we will miss you! Always in our hearts. Love, Jim & Susie O'Banion
One of my funniest memories was of a time in Colorado. We were there for Christmas and he had cut down a golf club and gifted it to me. The message he gave me with this was to work on my short game. I still have this club and am reminded of that every time I see it. Love ya'll. Tim O'Banion
SO LONG MICHAEL.........KEN.......
