Michael Mullenax

Michael W. Mullenax, 61, of Tunnelton, died on Saturday, Dec. 11, 2021, at Preston Memorial Hospital.

Michael was born Sept. 7. 1960, in Kingwood, a son of Vonda Jean (Garrett) Mullenax, of Oakland, Md. and the late Ray Lynn Mullenax.

Mike was a faithful loving husband and so enjoyed pestering his wife. He was a hard worker and enjoyed his animals. He loved going to the sale at Terra Alta and talking to other farmers. Mike was always there to help his family and friends, moving them or whatever needed done. He loved sports, especially going to the basketball games when his sons played. He loved spending time with his grandkids and taking them for rides on his 4-wheeler. Mike was looking forward to his retirement next September.

In addition to his mother, he is survived by his wife of 41 years, Kathy E. (Readd) Mullenax, of Tunnelton; three sons and spouses, Brent and Charity Mullenax of Hardy, Va., Blaine and Crystal Mullenax, of Fairmont, and Braden Mullenax and fiancée Ladai Harris, of Fairmont; three brothers and spouses, Robert and Sharron Scott, of Beverly, Kenny Mullenax, of Stephens, Va., Steve and Mary Mullenax, of Terra Alta; five sisters, Cathy Collins, of Parsons, Carolyn Mullenax, of Elkins, Betty and Carl Fint, of Aurora, Mary Allman, of Eglon, and Dorothy Wilkie of St. Petersburg, Fla.; five grandchildren, Addison, Jackson, Morgan, Braden C. and Kennedy; one brother-in-law, and spouse, Ron and Beth Readd, of Pennsylvania; and one sister-in-law and companion, Heather Gaston and Keith Johnson of Ohio.

He was preceded in death by one brother David Mullenax; his mother and fathers-in-law, Eleanor (Zinn) Readd Hawkins and Sam Readd and Warren Hawkins; and Aunt Pam Garrett.
