Michael D. Vance was born on August 2, 1952, in Grenada, MS. He passed away on June 26, 2018. Visitation will be Sunday, July 1, 2018, from 2:00 PM until 4:00 PM at Mulhearn Funeral Home, Sterlington Road, Monroe. A graveside service will be 10:00 AM Monday, July 2, 2018, at Hurricane Grove Baptist Church Cemetery in Sikes, LA.
He is survived by his sister, Shirley Vance McNease and husband Harry; a very special niece, Staci M. Ciraulo; a brother, Hardy C. “Jack” Vance and wife Patricia; nieces and nephews, Darrell and Beverly Vance, Greg and Ashley Vance, Marlie and Graycn Vance, Chris and Pam Vance, Emma and Cooper Vance, and Ryan, Lauren and Hallie McNease; and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Preceding him in death are his parents, Elease Rolen Vance and Dervin Stanford Vance; and very special grandparents, Oscar E. Rolen and Addie L. Rolen.
Mike’s passion was soaring in his glider plane, fly fishing and all types of hunting. He served our country as a Captain in the U. S. Army and served with honor and pride. His compassion and generosity made him a person of integrity.
My big brother will be missed every day and know that he is now “Soaring with the Angels”.
The family wished to extend a very special thank you to Bill Cautter at Mid-South Soaring Association in Pennsylvania.
