Notes - Michael died of congestive heart failure. Because of his weight and other factors, he was taken off the list for a heart transplant. He died after several previous heart attacks.
My brother, Michael Thomas Feagin received his name from our father,
Leslie Frank Feagin. Our father liked the name "Michael" and Thomas was
his father's middle name. I have his father's first name "John".
Michael ("Mike") was a free spirit. He did not work for any length of
time. Politically, he was liberal and often times at odds with me. He
met and married Nolberta and their marriage seemed to be a happy one.
My brother tended toward rebellion against the norms of society. He, for
instance, claimed he was an atheist. He took pains to study the bible
and The Book of Mormon to find perceived problems with them to discuss
with me.
Of all of the children in our house, Mike had the toughest time through
his childhood. He was singled out as the one of us to receive physical
abuse - the nature of the abuse will not be gone into in this document.
Mike was against the Vietnam War very early on. I served as a Vietnam
Veteran although I never was sent there. Mike was also a "hippy"
actually living on Haight-Ashbury streets in San Francisco during the
height of the movement. He was friends with all sorts of people. He was
very sensitive to the poor and down trodden and would help them as best
he could. Mike would often play Santa Claus because of his size and
because he truly enjoyed it.
Mike loved his children. He was extremely close with Julia, his
daughter. Julia learned how to work on a car because Mike taught her.
Mike had a wonderful sense of humour (sometimes off-colored). Despite
our political, social, and obvious religious differences - I loved my
brother deeply and hope to be reunited with him when it's my time to pass
through the veil.
