U.S. Veteran

Michael “Mike” Gregory Ward, age 74, of Sadler, TX, passed away peacefully at his residence on Monday, February 28, 2022. Mike was born on October 15, 1947 in McKinney TX, to Stanley Ward & Cathy (Bomar) Ward. He was a 1966 graduate of R. L. Turner High School in Carrollton, TX and attended Cooke County College, Gainesville, TX on a Drama Scholarship. He proudly served his country in the United States Navy and was a decorated veteran that received numerous medals, prestigious award and military honors. He married Carole Pearson on November 26, 1986 in Richardson, TX. He was formerly employed in auto sales.

He enjoyed the outdoors and loved hunting and fishing. A good game of football on a Sunday afternoon was a favorite of his. He loved being outdoors where he always had a garden. He passed a lot of time working crossword puzzles, which he was a whiz at. During the pandemic he learned to crochet and made many hats which he donated to nurses or anyone in need. He was a longtime resident of Sadler, but most of all he was a Christian and was very strong in his faith. He will be missed by all his loving family and friends.

Left to cherish his memory is his wife; Carole Ward of Sadler, TX, his children; Kim Jinkins & Jesse of Bridgeport, TX, Greg Ward & Misty of Aubrey, TX, Lauren Ballard & Jim of Sadler, TX, Kyle Long & Anisa of Ft. Worth, TX, Leslye Rosin & Jimmy of Denton, TX, seven grandchildren; Kolbe Adams of Dallas, TX, McKenna Long of Plano, TX, Bethany Ballard of Sadler, TX, Brayden Ward of Aubery, TX, Grayson Ward of Aubrey, TX, Indie Rosin of Denton, TX, Molly Ward of Aubrey, TX, other extended family and many friends.

He was preceded in death by both his parents; Stanley & Cathy Ward.

The family would like to give a special " Thank You” to the Texas Oncology Team and Bonham VA Team for the loving care that they gave to their loved one.

In lieu of flowers, the family request donations to the charity of your choice.

The family will announce a date for a memorial service.
