Mike David Turner Obituary (1955 - 2012)

Michael David Turner, moreover referred to as Mikey, Bone Daddy or from his grandkids, "Poppy". Mike stepped gently over into heaven on March 31, 2012, doing what he loved, working on his planes and messing around in his Man Cave. Mike's love of life affected everyone around him. Whether he was at work, play, with his friends, family & grandchildren or calling you from the boat while fishing with a joke he couldn't wait to tell you. He'd say, "I just wanted to give you a little bump on the hip and tell you It's all Good!!!!" The family will receive guests from 12-1pm on Good Friday, April 6th, 2012 with a 1:00pm Celebration of Life Memorial Service at Carnes Funeral Home-Texas City. High Flight Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings; Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth of sun-split clouds, -- and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of -- wheeled and soared and swung High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there, I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung My eager craft through footless halls of air. . . . Up, up the long, delirious burning blue I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace Where never lark, or ever eagle flew -- And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod The high untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand, and touched the face of God. -- John Gillespie Magee, Jr
