Mike Smith

But our commonwealth is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will change our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power which enables him even to subject all things to himself. Philippians 3:20-21

Mike was a graduate of Lagrange High School, and shortly thereafter began his career. Mike was an avid salesman and was well respected in the Oil and Gas Industry. Working over 40 years with large companies, such as Weatherford and Key Energy.

Mike was compassionate about people and the youth. He volunteered his time at the Louisiana Lions Camp for disabled children many summers as a young man.
