Mike Bentley, Calhoun, GA – Rest in peace, Mike “Bygod” Bentley. We are heartbroken to say goodbye to someone who touched so many lives. Mike’s presence was a light in our community and in our hearts, and his dedication to both his country and his neighbors will never be forgotten. Mike had a way of making sleepless nights memorable — sometimes because of the chaos he brought, and sometimes because of the joy he spread. His laughter was infectious, a sound that could lift even the heaviest hearts, and we would give anything to hear it just one more time. Those restless nights, full of stories, jokes, and camaraderie, are treasures we will hold forever.

He had a unique way of showing love — playful, bold, and unforgettable. Even simple greetings like “hey hot stuff” carried warmth, and now the absence of those words leaves a quiet ache. Mike had a profound impact on everyone who knew him, leaving memories that will continue to bring smiles, tears, and laughter in equal measure.

Though we take comfort in knowing Mike is exactly where he wanted to be, at peace and free from the struggles of this world, selfishly, we wish he were still here with us. His spirit, humor, and heart are irreplaceable, and the void he leaves will be deeply felt. Mike Bentley, you meant more than words can express, and you will be missed beyond measure.
