Myron "Mike" Western

Myron “Mike” Western went to be home with his Lord and Savior on June 4th, 2023. He passed peacefully in his sleep at the age at the age of 77 after a lengthy illness.

Mike was born on July 31, 1945, in Clayton, Indiana. He graduated from Mooresville High School in 1963. He soon moved to Shreveport, Louisiana, in 1966 to open Sutherlands Lumber Company. He later started his own business, Bossier Garage Door, where he would continue to work until he retired in 2011. Mike’s greatest achievement, however, was raising his three children.
