Obituary for Michael "Mike" Handorf
A funeral service for Michael David Handorf will be held at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, April 5, 2017, at Old Anacoco Baptist Church, 2386 E. Hawthorne Road Leesville, Louisiana, with Brother Wayne Chance officiating under the direction of Jeane’s Funeral Service. Burial will follow at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, April 6, 2017, at Herrington’s Land of Memory Cemetery, US 287 N, Palestine, Texas.
Visitation will be held from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, April 5, 2017, at Old Anacoco Baptist Church and again after the funeral service until 8:00 p.m.
Mike was born in Palestine, TX, on June 28, 1967, and passed away on April 1, 2017, at the age of 49. In 1985, he graduated from Anacoco High School and then went on to earn degrees in both kinesiology and history at Stephen F. Austin University. Mike was a former car dealership owner and salesman. He worked as a corrections officer for the Texas Department of Corrections until his disability in 2013. Mike moved back to Leesville and became a member of Old Anacoco Baptist Church. Mike will be remembered for many things such as his love of sports – especially men’s softball, working out, and fishing. Most of all, he will be remembered as a loving son, father, brother, and friend.
Mike was preceded in death by his mother, Patsy Lambert and brother-in-law, Timothy Lane Mitchell.
