Michael R. Hinson

Reverend Michael R. Hinson, 57, went to be with the Lord Monday, July 28, 2008. He was born on September 2, 1950 in Monroe, North Carolina. He was an employee of Fabrication Associates. Mike was a kind, caring father and grandfather and a devoted, romantic, loving husband. He served many roles, and answered to many names: “Chubby” (Pam), “Pop” (Zack), “Diddy” (Michelle) and “Paw Paw” (Caleb); but will be remembered most of all for being our “Dad”. Our “Dad” inspired us to always give our best effort, stand for what is right, care for and be kind to others, and to always walk in the Lord’s path. He has enriched our lives, and will be greatly missed by all who knew him. A memorial service will be held Friday, August 1, 2008 at 2:00PM at Emmanuel Baptist Church. He was preceded in death by his wife Pamela and son, Christopher. He is survived by his son, Zackery “Z-man” Hinson, and wife, Lisa, of Lake Park, NC; daughter, Michelle H. Mullins and husband, Seneca, of Monroe, NC; brother Keith Hinson and wife, Donna of Monroe, NC; and brother Mark Hinson and wife, Christy of Locust, NC. The family will receive friends Thursday evening from 6:00 until 8:00 at Emmanuel Baptist Church, 3618 Morgan Mill Rd., Monroe, NC. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Susan B.
