Michael Lee Tompkins (Mike), age 66, left for heaven, Feb. 21, 2021, after a short bout with cancer. He was born in Coldwater, MI to Carl J. & Dorothy (VanDyke) Tompkins and spent his life in and around the Coldwater area working at a variety of occupations, including farming & factory work.
Mike enjoyed camping, bear hunting and fishing in his younger days but lately contented himself with his garden, cutting wood, helping people with jobs around their homes, and with his intarsia hobby. He was very talented with woodworking and created many beautiful gifts.
Mike often reminded us to count our blessings each morning as was his habit. He saw God’s handiwork all around him in nature and liked hiking back to the woods behind his farm to find peace in the quietness. He read the Bible often and was always interested in learning more from God’s word.
