Michael Vick Service and Obituary
We owe each and everyone of you a sincere apology for not having funeral arrangements posted sooner. It has been such a constant change with Covid and immediate family currently ill.
As a family and with regard to the weather prediction for Saturday. We have opted to do an Immediate Family Only "Graveside" service at Williams Funeral Chapel on Saturday the December 12.
The family is planning a video life tribute with memories to be shared in the spring. We would love to hear your memories and experiences with Dad through the years. If you would like to share memories, testimonies, how he touched your life, etc. please contact Uncle Randy Vick at: majvick@gmail.com
He is compiling testimonies, memories, stories of Dad's life into a book. We would love to have these memories to share and look back on to remember a life so well lived in service and love to his fellow man.
As a family, we deeply regret with much sadness that were not able to have a big funeral and to have each of you there to share in this time.
Know that we love each of you soooo much and are grateful for the prayers, love, support, and outreach you have poured out on our family.
Thank you is not enough!
All our love,
