Dr. Michael W. Pendleton
September 17, 1949 - October 26, 2020
Dr. Michael W. Pendleton, passed away on the morning of October 26, 2020, in the critical care unit where he spent the weekend at a hospital in Abilene, near his Hawley Woods Ranch. During his 71 years, Mike baffled doctors by calmly and humorously surviving
and totally recovering from several major illnesses, making us know that God is in control.
Mike and Bonnie were married for 40 years in August. They met during their Masters’ degrees in Anthropology at California State University, Chico, and went to Texas A&M University at College Station for our Ph.D. degrees. Mike retired two years ago from being
a scanning electron microscopist for 17 years at Texas A&M University. He also was a fully certified Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) mechanic and could fix anything.
Mike and Bonnie were members of Canyon Rotary Club. Mike was a Paul Harris Fellow+1 and a member of the Paul Harris Society.
Mike is survived by no relatives except wife Bonnie and her four siblings.
He always was cheerful and wanted no one to be sad, so he requested no memorial service and to be cremated.
