Mike Feher

Michael Roy Feher, 50, of Signal Mountain, was mercifully delivered to the Lord on Sunday, June 22 ,2014 at Erlanger Medical Center in Chattanooga. A Michigan native, Mike was born in Douglas, Mich., on July 31, 1963. After moving to Chattanooga with his family, Mike became a graduate of both Red Bank High School and The University of Tennessee at Knoxville. He worked as a manufacturers representative alongside his brothers, Butch and Jim, at Ray Feher and Associates for over 25 years. Mikes impact on the Chattanooga community will serve as a fine example of humility, sincerity, and service to others. While home between business trips, Mike sacrificed his time to coach not only his own children, but all of the youth of Signal Mountain. He served as league commissioner of girls and boys Signal Mountain Youth League Sports, as well as coached flag football. His sacrifices will be remembered not only through the trophies his teams won through his leadership and encouragement, but more importantly, through the self-esteem he built and sportsmanship he inspired here on Signal Mountain. As a former member of the Signal Mountain Golf and Country Club, he served as the town representative for years. He was also a former member of the Chattanooga Golf and Country Club. He was presently serving on the board at the Honors Course in Ooltewah. One of his greatest thrills was winning the Club Championship at The Honors in 2008. His talent and contributions to the game were only surpassed by the joy he spread to those both playing on the course and spectating off the course. His sportsmanship and love of the game will continue to inspire others through his son, Mikey, a golfer at Lipscomb University, and wife, Candy. While the majority of his free time was spent on the golf course, he loved his church, the Signal Mountain Church of Christ. He was a devoted believer and had confidence in the Lords power. He has received his promise of eternal life for which he has worked hard. Though he is not with us physically, his commitment to his family, his honest work ethic, and most importantly, his contagious and hilarious personality, will live on through the memories and stories told by all who had the privilege of knowing him. Mike is survived by his devoted and loving wife of 27 years, Candy Merritt Feher; their children, Mary Kathryn, Rebecca and Mikey; parents, Ray and Joyce Feher; mother-in-law, Virginia Ann Merritt; brothers, Butch (Susan) Feher and Jim (Sandra) Feher; sisters-in-law, Missy Merritt (Michael) Emerling, Kathryn "Cookie" Merritt; and brother-in-law, Bill (Lauria) Merritt; and several nieces, nephews, uncles, and aunts. Thank you, Dad! We love you and always will. Thank you for giving us your fine example. There will never be another one like you. We will never forget you! Love you forever, DAD! A celebration of Life service will be conducted at 11 a.m. today, June 25, at Signal Mountain Church of Christ with Brother Greg Nance officiating.
