On June 7th, 2023 we lost Michael Scott Caton, 57, of Odessa, Missouri.
Mike was a kind, beautiful, ornery, funny soul who loved and was loved by so many. He will be greatly missed.
Mike was born on October 21st, 1965 to Lloyd Caton and Jane Due. Mike was married to Tina Graham on October 7th, 1995 and was the proud father of Kayla and Maximus Caton. On September 2nd, 2017 Mike married Kim Felton and his family grew to include two more sons, Wyatt and Brennan Bottcher.
Mike’s most cherished moment was the birth of his grandson, Daxton. It was in spending time with him that he found true joy and happiness.
