Mr. McCullough was born January 2, 1919 in Brookhaven, MS, where he resided until coming to the coast in 1942. He was a faithful member and deacon of Grace Memorial Baptist Church where he taught Sunday School many years. He loved the Lord and his wife, Flo, with whom he served the Lord.

He is survived by his wife of 65 years, Florence; his son and wife, Michael Sr. and Stephanie; his grandson, Michael Jr.; brother, D.R. aÌ‚â‚Å“DocaÌ‚â‚ McCullough, and many nieces, nephews and friends.
