About Darling Mike
Mike Harrell was born June 30, 1951 in Williamson, WV. After coming home from the hospital he went to live with his parents Roy B and Mary Varney Harrell, in Pike County, KY. When the coal mines shut down in 1958, his father moved the family to Virginia, where he started a used auto parts junkyard business. He became a huge Elvis fan from the moment he first came out in the 1950's. This began his lifelong love of music. Mike also loved sports most especially, football, baseball and basketball.
After graduating school in 1972, Mike went to work for his father at the auto junkyard. When his father retired from the business, Mike took it over. In July of 1983 he met Cheryl Mraz Harrell, going on a blind date with her. June 28, 1986, they got married.
Around Memorial Day of 1994, Mike was diagnosed with being legally blind due to undiagnosed diabetes and diagnosed with the diabetes. He was unable to drive anymore and was out on disability. His brother Larry now runs the business.
A dedicated Christian, Mike went home to heaven on March 3, 2009 due to a sudden heart attack. He was my loving husband and I miss him very much.
Mike loved everyone but more importantly, he loved his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He will forever live on in the hearts of those who loved him.
