Mike was born on July 12, 1952 in Liberal, Kansas to Al and Marjorie Daniels. He graduated from Pampa High School and became a welder by trade. Mike enjoyed golfing, camping, fishing the lake on his water wagon, and playing Mexican Train. But more than anything, he enjoyed sitting on the porch enjoying good conversation with his friends and family. Family was important to Mike and he rarely, if ever, let a family gathering where someone wasn’t in attendance go by without calling them up and passing the phone around so everyone could say hi. He married Jan Millican on July 7, 2007 in Panhandle. To his adored grandchildren he was known as Grampa, Grampa Mike, and Paw Taw.

Mike is preceded in death by his parents, Al and Marjorie Daniels, and a brother-in-law, Lee Millican.
