Mike is survived by his husband, Jim Perry of St. Louis, his mother and step-father, Carol Ann and Terry Crossley of Bradenton, Fl., 3 sisters, Sheila (husband Larry) Pennington of Greenbrier TN, Sharon Puckett Verderber of Bradenton, Fl, and Tami Cheesman of Newport, TN, and 1 brother, Jeff (wife Marla) Puckett of Brandon, MS. Mike is also survived by numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, cousins and in-laws, all of whom meant the world to him. Mike talked about his family often and truly cared about each and every one of them. Mike was preceded in death by his father, William Boyd Puckett.
Mike had friends around the world and it was not unusual for him to send messages to them out of the blue, just asking how they were doing, even if there had been no contact for months or even years. He was an avid bowler and bowled in tournaments throughout the country and as far away as New Zealand. He loved to travel and was the best tour guide a person could ever have. If Mike had been somewhere once, he knew his way around it forever.
Mike also loved his dogs (especially Dawson) and his St. Louis Cardinals. If Cardinal’s shirts and hats were money, he was the richest guy in the world! His last night on this earth was spent watching a Cardinal’s victory.
Mike believed in working hard and playing hard. He meant so much to so many people and will be forever loved and missed.
Memorial Visitation Saturday, October 13th from 1:00 pm - 4:30 pm at Hoffmeister Colonial Mortuary, 6464 Chippewa St.; St. Louis, MO 63109.
