Lindley (John E.) of Kannapolis; niece, Crystal McKenzie (Matt); two nephews, John Todd Lindley (Kate) and Tony Lindley (Jill); great nephew, Liam McKenzie; and former wife, Janice Edgison Turner of Kannapolis.

Memorials may be made to Poplar Grove Baptist Church, 3476 Poplar Tent Road, Concord, NC 28027.

The family has requested that casual attire be worn for the services to honor Mike.
