Michael R. Edwards

Michael Renard Edwards was the eldest son of
his three brothers and one stepsister. He was a self-made
handyman and laborer who enjoyed working for and with
others until a complete job was finished with satisfaction.
Michael was an avid Auburn Tiger football fan, loving
and bragging on his War Eagles. He loved his Dolomite
community where he was born and raised and given the
nickname “APPLE.”

Our beloved Michael made his transition with the Lord
