FRANKLIN - Age 69. Born March 16, 1955 and called home to heaven on May 18, 2024.

Loving husband of Jean (Nee Carpentier) for 43 years. Beloved father of Joseph (Carley) and Andrew. Son-in-law of Dorothy Henry. Brother-in-law of Barbara (Robert) Creed of Illinois and Jim Carpentier of Florida. Further survived by other relatives and friends.

Mike retired from Master Lock where he was a machinist, he loved working with his hands. His last words to Jean was, "Happy Anniversary" which was on May 16th. They were married for 43 years. Mike was most proud of his two sons, Joe & Andy and the men they have become. Mike often said, "you play the hand you are dealt." His hand had no winner, but he played it until the end.

A heartfelt thank you to Zilber Family Hospice. Their compassion knew no end. Their staff is simply the best!

Visitation at Hartson Funeral Home on Sunday, June 2, 2024 from 12 noon until 2 pm. Service 2 pm.
