Dale Pointer

Michael Pointer, 74, of Owensboro passed away Sunday, April 10, 2022, at his home. The Muhlenburg County native was born July 23, 1947, as one of eleven children to the late Clifford and Juanita Pointer. Mike was a retired Over-the-Road truck driver who had worked for Ruan and RTI for over 33 years. He was an expert handyman who could build and fix most anything. Mike loved working jigsaw puzzles, yardwork, and was an avid UK and St. Louis Cardinals fan. Family times with his family were a big part of his life; spending time outside, camping with his wife, and boating at Little Hurricane on the river. Mike was mischievous and just a big kid at heart, always getting his grandchildren stirred up with water guns and nerf guns.

In addition to his parents, Mike also was preceded in death by his brothers, Tony Glenn, Wayne, Bill, Ronnie, Larry, Terry, Steve; daughter, Angela Prewitt; son, Richard Pointer; great grandson Jacob Maddox Horn.

Those who remain to cherish his memory include his wife of 25 years, Jeanne Pointer; daughter, Jennifer (Joe) McCubbins; stepdaughters, Tina, Tammy, and Tonia; numerous grandchildren, great grandchildren, and step grandchildren; sisters, Karen (Frank) Hein and Marsha (Anthony) Holland; brother, Jeff Pointer; many nieces and nephews.
