Mike was born April 14, 1951, in Martin, son of the late Mitchell and Audell (Grissom) Collier. He married Jeanette (Curlin) Collier Feb. 28, 1975. She survives. He worked for Agricultural Resources for the State of Tennessee and was a farmer. Mike was of the Church of Christ faith.
Heaven gained one of the countriest men of Weakley County — Mr. William Michael "Mike" Collier. His parents were graciously waiting on him with arms wide open. We know he was so glad to be reunited with them. He leaves behind a wife of 46 years, Jeanette Curlin Collier. For the past few years, they were hit with some struggles along the way, but that did not stop the love they had for one another. Three years ago, what little did Mike know that he was going to be a great uncle to little Collier Joe Curlin. Mike was so tickled to hear the news that his namesake would be carried on and this earned him the title of "MikeMike." Collier sure loved his MikeMike.
As everyone knew Mike, he was one that sure liked to aggravate and joke around. When he was around, you for sure knew that you were gonna have a good laugh as you never knew what was going to come out of his mouth. Most of you knew he loved to wear his bib overalls everywhere he went. If he tore them, he would duct tape them and go on about his business. If a hole come in his boot, what did he do, he duct taped it. If he had a cut, he had no time for a band-aid as duct tape was his best friend. And one thing for sure about Mike is if he liked you he liked you and if he didn't you would for sure know it.
He is also survived by several nieces and nephews; and his great-nephew, Collier Joe Curlin.
