Michael Rainer Obituary
Michael was born Jan. 20, 1959, in Waco, to Raymond and Mildred Rainer. He loved being with his family, especially his daughters and grandchildren, and going to the Peyton Place.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Raymond and Mildred Rainer; and his brother, Milton Rainer.
He is survived by his daughters, Melinda Cox and husband, Johnnie, of Fairfield, and Natasha Richter and husband, Steve, of Lorena; and his grandchildren, Stephanie and Dustie Cox, and Aubree Richter. He is also survived by brothers, Jim Rainer of Waco, and Kenneth Rainer and wife, Anita, of Bryan; sister, Pam Rainer and brother-in-law, Paul Rose, of Waco; and lifelong friend and forever sister-in-law, Robbie Dailey of Bellmead. Additionally, he had many nieces and nephews, and was known as a friend to all.
The family regards this as a tragic accident, and sends up prayers for peace and forgiveness. At the family's request, in lieu of flowers, donations to help cover the funeral expenses may be made to The American Bank of Bellmead in care of Natasha Richter.

I miss you Uncle Mike.. I cant get you off my mind but then again I thought about you so much before you were gone! I will forever hold the memories close to my heart. Just like that day I was in labor with Zack. You sat with me all night while my dad was sleeping. I woke up and talked you about those lil orange pills they gave me.. You teased me about that everytime I saw or talked to you. I love you forever and always!! Hug daddy and mamaw for me :(
