Mr. Oakes passed away June 12, 2018, in a Corpus Christi hospital.
He was born May 24, 1953, in Austin, to Boyce Vanoy and Bettye Jo Gibson Oakes. Mike served as a military police officer in the Air Force and was stationed in Korea. He also served as a peace officer in Edgefield, South Carolina. He lived most of his life in Dallas, and he was a truck driver. He was a member of the Masonic Lodge #307 in Lone Oak and the Fulton Community Church. Mike was a retired entrepreneur and a jack of all trades. His past hobbies included riding dirt bikes and motorcycles with friends, fishing, and singing. Mike was well loved by all who came in contact with him. He was proud to be a Texan, and he never met a stranger. Mike will be remembered for his kind and compassionate nature and his friendly, unique, and outgoing personality. He was a true friend to all and will be greatly missed.
