Racine – Michael Andre Cosey, 39, received the promise of eternal life on Saturday, July 20, 2013. He was born in Racine on October 24, 1973, son of Dewey Honor, Jr. and Joyce Cosey.
Michael was united in marriage to the love of his life, Tameeka (nee: Goodwin) Cosey, on February 14, 2003, at Higher Dimensions C.O.G.I.C. in Racine.
Mike was a machinist for R & B Grinding. He enjoyed music of all types including R&B. He was a sports fan and enjoyed cheering on the Green Bay Packers and the San Antonio Spurs. Mike loved fishing. He traveled far and wide to spend peaceful hours enjoying God’s beauty on the lake. Mike was a God-fearing man of prayer. He was a member of Higher Dimensions C.O.G.I.C. in Racine and spent much of his time studying God’s word. Above all, Mike was a devoted family man and a tremendous provider for his family. He adored his children whom he affectionately called Nunu (now Skoop) and Baby. Mike and Tameeka would take trips together every year for their anniversary. These trips included places such as Jamaica, Mississippi, Memphis, St. Louis, and the Wisconsin Dells just to name a few. He was happiest when he was able to get the entire family together for any occasion. Mike will be dearly missed.

In 2005 I interviewed Michael for our family newsletter. I want to share a quote from the article. “Regarding his life he said he is very happy with the changes he made in his life.” Michael said, “I am not perfect, if I were perfect I would not need God, however I am working to be as perfect as I can be. He said he dares any one to try God, take a chance and try the Lord.” I just wanted to share this so you will all know why our family will truly miss our mild-mannered, soft-spoken, but “tell it-like-it-is-cousin, brother, son, uncle, and nephew.” Tracy
