On February 5, 1958, there was a very special

event, one that through the course of time would

change my life. My friend, my husband, the love of my

life, Michael "Mike" was born in Dallas, Texas. In

1976, he graduated from Lincoln High School and

upon graduation, he entered the U.S. Army. During

his time in the military, he served in Fort Polk,

Louisiana and in Seoul, South Korea. After his tour

of duty was over, he returned to Dallas and

continued to serve in the U.S. Army Reserves.

Mike was employed by the U.S. Postal Service

for over 28 years. In 1986, Mike met Jacklin Brown

and they were married the next year. The two were

blessed with over 34 years of love and marriage. He

was so happy and proud to be the father of two

beautiful girls, Amanda Gail and Morgan Alley who

went on to be with the Lord.

Mike loved his family, fishing, traveling and

talking to people. He rarely met a stranger. Mike's

family loved him as he loved them. Those remaining

to cherish his memories include: his wife, Jacklin;

his mother, Geraldine Johnson; father, Sherman

Davis; brothers: Rickey, Tommy, and Alonzo

Barrance; Stanley Barrance (proceded him in

death); aunts, uncles, many nieces, nephews,

cousins and friends
