Michael was born on November 14, 1967 in Andrews to Glenda Louise Dixon and Bill McMillan. He married Ruby Irene Patton on April 6, 1999 in Olney. Michael was employed by Key Energy Services as an oilfield driller and he was a member of Morningside Baptist Church. Michael loved to barbecue in the backyard and he loved the water. His favorite holiday was the 4th of July, although he loved all holidays, he loved to pop fireworks and enjoy his family and friends. He disliked the cold. He would put thermals on when it was 70 degrees outside. He could do anything he set his mind to do. He was a very talented man and very loving and gentle man. He could paint a house, lay down flooring, do any honey-doo's he was asked to do. He was our Mikey-do and proud of it, but the oilfield was his life, the oilfield fed his family and he was so very proud of that fact. He was a very caring man that will truly be missed by anyone that was fortunate enough to have known him. We'll always love him.
