He was a revered businessman for most of his life, owning both Vicksburg Cycles and the now closed Southern Sports Center in Richland. Privately, Mike was the dependable son of Dr. Dale and the late Patricia Lucas Holloway, a doting husband to his wife of almost thirty-five years, a prudent father to his 2 children and a caring mentor to all of his friends.

He worked at Taylor and Jeanes, a Detroit Diesel distributor, for 13 years before opening his first motorcycle repair shop in 1990. He was also a deacon at Gunter Road Baptist church in Florence.
