April 12, 2024, 64, Goldsboro —

On April 12th, we said goodbye to our favorite man. Born in Wayne County, North Carolina, he was the son of the late Troy Miller and Sarah Shearin Bryan. Mike was a Veteran of the United States Marine Corps and a member of the American Legion Post 11. To know him was to love him, he never met a stranger. You could always catch him smiling the most with his grandbabies. We know he is in no pain, free as a bird, and in heaven in his own ocean forever sailing away.

Mike is survived by his wife, June Pate Bryan; his sister, Gloria Kornegay; his daughters, Melissa Pearce (Roy), Cori Bryan, and Marlo Bauer (Justin); and grandchildren, Jackson Michael Bauer and Amelia Carol Bauer. Along with his parents, Mike was preceded in death by his sister, Linda Bryan Pope, niece Kellie Pope, and grandchild, Baby Bauer.

No services will be held at this time.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the
Boys & Girls Club of Wayne County
1401 Royall Ave
Goldsboro, NC 27530
