One of my favorite threads of all time!!!!

Praying for family and friends!
Dawn and I met Mike last year at Crank Fest, visited with him again at Grizzly Jig spring show. Mike came across as a guy that if we had a problem would come and lend a helping hand in any way he could even though he didn't know us well.
I pray that family and friends find the strength to make today a celebration of Mike's life and time spent with him. I recently lost my father, there is not one day that goes by that I don't miss him or think about him. I try to turn my thoughts to fun times that we shared together and try to smile it sure seems to help me deal with his loss.
RIP Mike!!!
This thread, that's him. One of a kind. Smiles to my heart.
More prayers for peace to Barbie, family and friends.
Prayers sent for all of the family. We never know if we will see the next day.
Thanks so much for all the prayers and for the ones that were able to come to the memorial service today, man what a crowd.
The prayers of our extended family is what has given us the strength to get this far, the love and support is simply amazing. May God bless you all!
I saw where he announced on the nettle awhile back that he had started guiding. When I saw how he kept his composure when the bozo over there was ranting about trollers, I knew he'd do well, and I was very happy for him.
I like to remember that ours is a good God: He allows us to have memories. What in this WORLD is more precious than memories? There would be no rush of adrenaline motoring out from the ramp; because there would be no memory of the day that burned that thrill into our minds.
What would life be like without memories? Fleeting-even more so than it already is. We have our memories, and, in life, that is all we will really have. In death, we will remember no more; we will always be.
I am praying for you all. Even the folks here who knew him. It sounds like he was loved. Remember him, because that's what we were designed to do. It is a good and right and perfect thing to do, and all good and perfect things are from Above and all good and perfect things- things worth giving thanks for- we should dwell on those things.
We need some pics of Caddo Lake. That was his favorite place to travel, relax and fish. I'm sure those people down there will miss him terribly like we all will here.
Wish I had some pics of our Crappie Masters tourney we fished together last fall.
Attachment 239027 This one is from last year. His cousin took it from across the way. Will post more later.

Ms Goodtime I am very sorry for your loss. I didn't know your husband but obviously from all of the comments he must of been a great guy. My wife and I have also made several trips to Caddo and have fond memories of that unique area. We have also Have experienced personal loss, with the death of a 23 year old son. I hope when you think of Mike you will only allow your mind to reflect on the good times only. I pray that our Great God will lift you and other family members and friends up during the coming weeks and months.
It's been just over a week and still hard to believe, several times Ms Goodtimes has said, "I know that if it weren't for the prayers I would never get through this." They are working but still have a long ways to go, picked up the phone to call him yesterday before I realized he would not answer.
This I do know, he will never be forgotten. This too I know, life is full of ups and downs, fact. Right now Ms Goodtime is at the bottom of one of them deep down swings but as she scratches, claws, and digs to get back to the top she will find herself one day on a mountain top with an awesome views. Continued prayers girl, you can do this, I have no doubt and am so thankful you have been there for me, not sure what kinda shape I would be in if you weren't. Talk to you in the morning!

I'm sorry if I'm bothering any of you but I'm struggling this week just to breathe. I keep expecting him to walk through the door or my phone to ring. It just doesn't seem real. On medicine to stop the panic attacks in the middle of the night. My friends are making me live and I have good days but it's rough when I'm alone. I ask that you continue the prayers and stories to help me through this. Thank you in advance, Barbie
Hang in there Girl...Some day it will get a little better.
Prayers ongoing

Prayers sent.
You are not bothering any of us...I promise you that. I know my prayers for you are continued and I feel sure its the same with the others. You lost a husband....we all lost a brother. Your not alone.
Father God, you promise us that you will never place on us anything to much for us to bear as long as we put our hope in you. Help Barbie to make it through this time of overpowering sorrow and loneliness. I pray she will lean on prayer when it seems nothing can sooth the awful pain she feels. She is your child and right now she needs the love only you can supply. In Jesus name. Amen

Good luck Barbie! I hope you jump from 10 to 1st!
Prayers heading your way! Stay strong.
I am so blessed to have each of your continued prayers. I thank you so very much for I wouldn't have made it this far without them. I'm making it one day at a time and I have good days and bad days. Spent yesterday morning on the boat with John fishing. It was a good day talking about Mike and catching me a mess of crappie.
Hang in there Barbie. Those "good"Quote:

He heals the broken hearted. He binds up their wounds. He knows the numbers of the stars and calls them each by name. His understanding has no limit. Ps 147:3-5
It's been a little over a month since Mike left us. Still dont seem real. Looking forward to crankfest so I Can see some of y'all. Thank you for everything. Mike had no clue how everyone felt about him. Sorry about the Mr goodtime, my tablet was stolen and was using his. Forgot I wasn't signed into mine. Don't want to log out of his don't know his passwords.
Ms Goodtime
How prophetic that when I looked at this thread, on the right it read "Last Post Mr. Goodtime"
Course it won't say that now when I post this. Keep the faith fellows.
Barbie, please PM me (using any account), I can take care of all the passwords you need.Quote:

Barbie, I messed up. I set new passwords for both the accounts. I did not mean for it to take effect until I heard back from you via pm. I texted you the new password.
