Michael Bernard Dockins Jr., known affectionately as “Mikey” by his family and as her "First Born King" by his mother, was born on September 4, 1997, in Winter Haven, Florida, to Michael Dockins Sr. and Corrinne Graham. He departed this life to be with the Lord on January 13, 2025.
Michael was a gifted individual with a multitude of talents. During his school years, he excelled in music, playing the cello, and showcased remarkable athletic abilities across various sports, particularly baseball, basketball, and football. His vibrant personality touched the lives of many, as he approached everyone he met with kindness and respect.
An outdoors enthusiast, Michael, thrived in nature. He found joy in swimming, fishing, and spending time with animals, creating unforgettable memories with his family and friends at the beach where he loved to play in the sand and swim in the ocean.
Michael was also a father to two beautiful boys and was eagerly anticipating the arrival of another son in April 2025. His legacy of love, joy, and adventure will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew him. His favorite Bible verse… Psalm 26:11 But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me and be merciful unto me.

Your relationship with my son Michael has been a precious gift, and I am grateful for everything you have done. You are truly special, and the legacy of your bond with Michael will live on in all our hearts.
