On Monday, January 25, 2021, Michael Wayne Tull, loving husband, father and grandfather, passed away at age of 69. 

Mike was born on Sep. 23, 1951 to Afton and Lillie (Herzog) Tull in Waco, TX.  He graduated class of 1970 from Chilton High School, and married his wife of 48 years, Sherril Kay Michalka on July 29, 1972.  They had two daughters, Laura Rene and Kayla Lynn. 

Mike served in the Army Reserves as a Paratrooper, and Demolitions Engineer.  He was a Master Mason, past Master of the St. Andres lodge #170 in Cameron, TX, and a Shriner Clown.  He worked as an owner-operator truck driver before retiring.  He enjoyed fishing, hunting, and spending time with his family and friends.  Mike was always generous with his love, affection and time. 

Mike was preceded in death by his father, Afton, his mother Lillie, and his sisters Connie, and Verdie Mae.  He is survived by his wife, Kay; his daughter Laura, her husband Jason, their children Gunnar, Aubrey, and Robin; his daughter Kayla, her husband Justin, and their boys, Riley and Gauge; his brothers, Kenneth, Sammy, Danny, and Rickey; his sisters Bonnie, Marilyn, and Rita; and many cousins, nephews and nieces, and in-laws.  A celebration of life will be held a later date.  

Mike was known as Papa Mike to his 3 grandsons and his 2 granddaughters.  Papa Mike was always very generous with his time with them, and loved to be around them.  Mike struggled with Huntington's disease, and spent his last days in the hospital.  With COVID restrictions, like so many, his interactions with loved ones were limited.  In this tough time, we are reaching out to friends and family to help.  We are putting this fundraiser together to help cover funeral expenses and to help his wife, Kay. 

Anything at all is a great help.  We appreciate your thoughts and prayers for comfort in this difficult time.
