Johnny “Mike”

Chandler

Johnny Michael Chandler, 71, also known as "Mike," passed away Sunday August 18th surrounded by his family at Hospice of Wichita Falls. Mike was born in Gladewater, Texas on April 25, 1953. Mike retired from Coca Cola after 35+ years. He was a wonderful father to his 4 children and a caring grandfather, brother and uncle.

Mike is survived by his children, Amanda Chandler of Wichita Falls; Marisa Chandler and husband Seth of Wichita Falls; Erin Andujar and husband Marcos of Colleyville; Bryan Chandler and wife Jennifer of Justin. He has 10 grandchildren that greatly loved their PaPa including Mariah, JT, Savy, Logan, Emilia, Antonio, Elle, Ian, Austin, and Wyatt. He is also survived by his brother James Chandler and wife Roni of Wichita Falls, nephews Brodie and James Chandler of Wichita Falls, and niece Kristy Chandler of Wichita Falls.

Mike had a larger-than-life personality, an ornery spirit, and loved his family well. His favorite hobbies were fishing with his brother and attending his grandchildren's sporting events. He also adored his dog, Goober, who has been his devoted companion over the last several years. He took such pride in his many years of service with Coca Cola and most importantly, cherished his role as a father and grandfather. He was a self-proclaimed "Mountain Man" and referred to himself as so even in his final days. The impact he left on the people he loved will never be forgotten. While we grieve his loss here on earth, we rejoice in his reunion with Jesus in Heaven.

At Mike's request there will be no funeral service. Instead, he requested that his immediate family have a small memorial service to honor his life.
