McCain went to be with his Lord on Sunday, May 15, 2011. Born in Atlanta, GA., he was a son of the late Ray and Mary McCain. He was a loved member of Round Hill Baptist Church. Michael was a true warrior. He received a purple heart for his service in Vietnam, for which we rightfully honor him. More importantly, however, Michael faithfully served in the Lord's army, valiantly fighting many battles with a joy and peace that only his Commander-in-Chief, the Lord Jesus Christ, could give. It was his desire that all come to know that same joy and peace by surrendering their lives to Jesus as Savior and Lord. Surrender is victory - Victory in Jesus! May we all join Michael in the victory celebration. Survivors are his wife, Andrea Jenisch McCain of Lexington; daughters, Christa Friddle and husband Ethan of Greenville and Candace Wallace and husband Mike of Lexington; brother, Tony McCain and his wife Doris of Tyrone, GA; one grandchild, Connor Wallace; and several nieces and nephews. The family wishes to thank everyone from Round Hill Baptist Church, Helping Hands Day Care, Dorn VA Medical Center, home health caregivers, and all others who lovingly cared for Michael for many years. You will always have a special place in our hearts. Family and friends may sign online guest book at www.thompsonsfuneral.com
