M.C will be remembered by many for the orange Chevrolet trucks he owned over the years in which he could always be found washing, polishing and detailing. He had an eye for flare, antiques and loved anything nostalgic. For those that ever had the opportunity to cross paths with M.C., they always parted ways with a smile, a laugh and a great joke to share with others. However, his true passion was always his children and grandchild that he loved dearly and gave endlessly. M.C. will forever be remembered as a strong, independent, loving Father and Grandfather.
A Memorial Service will be held on Friday, March 1, 2019, 10am at Whitehurst Funeral Chapel. The family requests that in lieu of flowers donations can be made to Whitehurst Funeral Chapel for funeral expenses.
