Those who knew Mike would tell you that he dedicated his life to the principles of Christ via his service toward others at work, his family, friends, and loved ones.
Born in Coleman, TX, he subsequently lived in various Texas cities in his childhood, through early adulthood. After graduating Highlands High School in San Antonio, he went on to attend the University of Texas at Austin (UT), where he majored in math and went on to obtain a PhD there in the then new field of computer science in the late 1960's. Afterward, he worked for IBM, NASA, Martin Marietta, and the University of Wyoming in Laramie, where he was a Professor of Computer Science and performed research in such fields as artificial intelligence, robotics, computer vision, and machine learning (among others). He taught numerous undergraduate students and mentored and taught graduate students until 1996. He went on from UW to perform research doing similar work at Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio, TX, retiring in 2007. He resided in the San Antonio area for approximately 26 years, before going to be with the Lord our Savior after dying of natural causes.
On a personal level, Mike was a loving husband to Pamela Magee, who he met in Austin during his studies at UT; they married and had two sons, Matthew, and Mark. Mike enjoyed hiking, rafting, sailing, water, and snow skiing, and attending UT sporting events, mainly football games. He attended the UT-Texas A&M game, his favorite for over 25 years without missing a game.
He is deeply missed by his family and friends; he is survived by his wife; two sons, and three grandchildren.
