Sad to hear about Mike. We were high school friends and graduated together. As we got back in touch I could tell he grew up to be a great father à nd husband. God Bless Mike’s family and I’ll see you soon brother.

Dear family of Michael Coats: Please accept my sincere condolences and deepest sympathy on the loss of you’re dear loved one. Death is such a tragedy for all of us, and when it touches us personally, it’s sometimes difficult to find the comfort that we search for. Our loving Heavenly Father Jehovah, who is the God of all comfort, feels empathy for those who have felt the sting of death, and therefore promises to swallow up death forever and eliminate all pain and suffering. (Please read Revelation 21:4 and Isaiah 25:8) Jesus gave even more reason for hope at John 5:28,29 where he explains: “…all those in the memorial tombs…will come out…” As you read the above texts in you’re Bible, may they give you hope and comfort, during this most difficult time. Again, my deepest sympathy. David Cowles
I’m so sorry to hear that Mike has passed away. He and I became real good friends when he lived in Georgia. I am actually the one that turned him on to NASCAR and he immediately started following Dale Earnhardt. Back then it almost became an obsession with him. And he really loved his Chevrolets. I talked to him on the phone one time after Earnhardt Sr was killed, but lost touch with him after that. He went to several races in Atlanta with us in the early 90’s and I have some pictures of him with us. Let me know and I will send them email or I’m on Facebook as Robert G Fuller. Message me and I will post them. He will be missed. Prayers to his family. Robert Fuller. thefullerteam@hotmail.com
