Michael William Hawkins

Michael William Hawkins (1947 - 2024)

Michael William Hawkins, of Gainesville GA, was called home on the 3rd of April, 2024.  He was 76 years old.  The words that are to follow cannot convey what an extraordinary person he was.  

Saved by his Grandmother, Hassie, Michael overcame his meager beginnings to become a successful businessman in the industry of pipe fittings and flanges. Starting several businesses and seeing them come to fruition, Michael traveled the world and became a leader in his industry. Michael retired and turned his attention to what would become his life's passion. A devout Christian, he lived to explore the teachings of Jesus and helped bring others to the Word.  Michael taught Sunday school at Mount Vernon Baptist Church and Men's Bible Study at First Baptist Church of Gainesville.  

Michael found peace and love with his wife, Gaye, who survives him. He is also survived by two adult children, Matthew and Willam. Those who knew him and loved him will have to find a way to exist in a world where he no longer does.
