Michael 'Mike' Lindsey

Abilene

Mike Lindsey, 58, of Eula passed away Monday, February 16, 2009. The family will receive visitors in his remembrance at the Eula Lions Club, FM 603 in Eula on Saturday, February 21st from 1:00 to 6:00 pm.

Mike was born December 12, 1950, to O.M. and Wanda (Hagan) Lindsey in Abilene where he graduated from Cooper High School. Mike was employed by Toyota of Abilene for 37 years. He was an avid outdoorsman and was a member of local bass fishing clubs.

He was preceded in death by his parents O.M. and Wanda. Survivors include his son Mark and his wife, Lisa Lindsey of Lubbock; one brother, Billy Lindsey of Abilene; sister, Susan Cook of Arlington; one grandson, Cody Wright of Lubbock; and several nieces and nephews.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to West Texas Rehabilitation Center, 4601 Hartford, Abilene, TX 79605. Elliott-Hamil Funeral Home, 542 Hickory is in charge of the arrangements.


Uncle Mike was a great story teller and had a wonderful sense of humor. He was a red-neck, bbq'in, beer drinking, Nascar watchin' kind of guy. He knew how to work hard and play hard. He may have looked pretty rough, but he was the nicest man and the kind of person you'd want as a friend. When I was little, he'd let me get away with all kinds of things...I'd stand on his lap and braid his beard!
It's never the right time to lose someone you love.

More Rain Please!


It really stinks that all the lakes around here are dry. This is (or was!) Granger Lake. Brian and I thought it would be funny to take a picture of the baby next to the "No Wake" ;)


By the way, it was really windy.

My Surprise Birthday at The Coupland Inn & Dancehall




Brian surprised me with a nice treat. We went out to the old Coupland dancehall Friday night and stayed at the B&B upstairs. It was pretty cool. We had some family join us for the dancing. Patrick came too! I think he liked all the neon lights. (Don't worry, it wasn't too smokey or anything.)
