Obituary for ATKINSON


Published in the Albuquerque Journal on Friday July 15, 2011

MICHAEL VINCENT Age 48, a resident of Albuquerque since 1969, passed away suddenly July 11, 2011. He is survived by his spouse of 28 years, Jody; son, Jerrod, and wife, Amy of Fort Collins, Colorado; daughter, Rashawn of Albuquerque; and Tyler Parreco of Fort Collins, Colorado, who he loved as a son. Mike's mother, Connie; and his in-laws, Jerry and Norma Hall, live in Albuquerque. Mike's brother, Dan, lives in Parker, Colorado, and his sister, Christine and husband, Jeff Foss live in Albuquerque. Mike was blessed with one nephew, eight nieces, and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. Mike's father, Paul, preceded him in death in 2010. Mike grew up primarily in the Chelwood Foursquare Church, Albuquerque, later becoming Executive Pastor of The Journey Fellowship. In 1982 Mike began his fulfilling career with Southwest Airlines. While he was certainly a loving, doting, responsible husband and father, at heart he was a genuine "Jeremiah Johnson." He loved hunting, fishing--anything done outdoors in the woods. Services will be held Friday, July 15, 2011, at 1:00 p.m. at East Gate Church, 12120 Copper Ave. NE, Albuquerque, NM, 87123, with Pastor Derek Witt of The Journey Fellowship officiating. In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial contributions to The Journey Fellowship, 6821 Montgomery Blvd. NE, Albuquerque, NM, 87109.
