Monroe Dispatch - No Struggle, No Progress

God blesses us all with different talents or gifts. Many discover their talents while others squander theirs. To know who you are is truly a blessing while possessing your own gift or talent is amazing. Everyone on earth has their own special flair very noticeable to others. Michael Jackson was one of those persons. When you heard his talents, he made you look and made you notice. His special musical talent was phenomenal while your ears became your eyes hearing his flair. Michael possessed an ability to make you feel things no one else could. He performed at many different venues musically. He played the piano and changed the mood with his melodious ability. Michael made his way home to be with Jesus on Tuesday December 8, 2020. When you heard him at church, at events, with a band or wherever, his talent stood out making you feel different. Upon attending events, you could hear and feel when Michael was on the keyboard, piano or organ. Many knew when they heard the music, Michael was in the building. When bands came to town and needed a musician, they reached out the Michael. He would sit in with bands as if he was a member. Michael was that good of a musician. He is and will be truly missed. His funeral arrangements were incomplete at press time and will be announced from Smith Funeral Home in Monroe LA. Please remember his family in prayer.
