Mike was born Sept. 1, 1974, in Martin, son of Danny and Deborah (Gallimore) Barker. He married Patt (Floyd) Barker May 10, 1995. Mike was employed as parts manager for Alliance Ag Equipment in Troy. Mike was a son, husband, father, Pops, friend, musician, singer and so much more. He loved God and fishing. He was a fisherman and fisher of men. Mike was a hilarious and compassionate man. He had a great ear for music and even better voice. Mike’s parents, brother, wife, daughters and granddaughters were his everything and he was their rock. Mike’s favorite music was just good music. As Mike would say “Live Like Jimmy Buffett” and “Go Cardinals.”
