Dad it’s so hard to even realize you are gone. I know you are in a better place and watching over us. You are loved so very much and will be missed so much! I love you Dad! And I will cherish all the great memories forever!
Mike was one of the good ole boys! I grew up knowing Mike with a smile ???? that filled my heart ❤ with joy! Always willing to lend a hand to fix anything around my Moms house knowing along with the help he would always get a tall glass of ice tea and if came early enough he would get fed homemade biscuits and gravy! He was friends with my brother Rickey Poe for as long as I can remember! They worked together and built a close friendship over the year’s. He and Rickey always enjoyed barbecuing and shooting the breeze together. Mike now joins Rickey in heaven with our Lord and savior. I send my condolences to your family and will keep them all in prayer!
Shannon family, please accept my sincere condolences. Mike was always smiling and so kind. He was always willing to help anyone. I was one of those he and Darryl helped out of a big bind one day when I had a building issue and I will forever be grateful. I called late in the day and the brothers showed up with coffee in hand and worked late to get my building secured for the night. The brothers were a great carpenter team! May God give you comfort in your loss of Mike.
Prayers for all The Bardin Family
I’m so sorry for your loss. Mike was always so kind when he came by, we loved chatting with him and he was always good to us. He was so proud of how many grandkids he had. The Shannon family has done a lot for my family over the years and my heart goes out to you all during this difficult time. I will keep you all in my thoughts.
