He was born October 23, 1953 in Cleveland, Mississippi to the late Morris and Lavern Little and grew up in Drew, Mississippi. He married Marlane “Laney” Little on September 28, 2001 in Parker, Colorado.

Mike was an incredibly smart, athletic, and musically inclined child.

He was interested in computer programing and aeronautical systems and was recruited after graduation to work at Ball Aerospace in Boulder, Colorado. Mike then transitioned to the United States Air Force as a Cyber Security specialist contractor with Mantech and later converted to a civilian position. Mike worked at NORAD in Colorado Springs and the Pentagon in Arlington and Crystal City, Virginia working for Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI) Special Projects (PJ). After retirement, Mike and Laney settled in Kimball Township to be closer to their children and grandchildren.

Mike is survived by his wife of 22 years, Laney Little, his four step children and their spouses, Shawn Mitchell (Darian), Ryan Jones (Karen), Kate Golembiewski (Matt), and Elizabeth Chung (Anthony); 9 grandchildren, Tristin, Alyssa, Mycala, Thomas, Kennedy, Walter, Micheal, Gabriel, and Adeline; one great-granddaughter, Everly; siblings, Ed Little (Nelda), Sheila Powell (Gene), Guy Little (Shelley); and several nieces and nephews.
