Loyd Michael “Mike” Bandy was born October 7, 1949, in Littlefield, TX to Dewey J. Bandy and Jonelle Foster Bandy. Mike was the second born of six children. He started elementary school in Sudan, TX, before moving to Chickasha, OK. Later, he moved to Cement, OK where the family operated a dairy farm. Mike’s very strong work ethic began at an early age during these moves. Mike graduated from Fletcher High School with the Class of 1968. Mike and Phyllis Ham Bandy were the proud parents of Jeanie Michelle, Tonya Kaye, Sonya Renee Bandy. Jennifer Rachelle Bandy was born to Mike and Judy Huffman Bandy on December 3, 1971, in Littlefield, TX. During this time, Mike began his career as a butcher in Lubbock, TX and continued in Guymon and Elk City, OK. Additionally, Mike owned two convenience stores, a cattle operation, oil producing properties, an oil field trucking company, disposal wells, and many other ventures. Mike was a very hardworking and successful self-made businessman. On November 6, 2004, Mike married Misty Dawn Pratt and took up residence in Gage, OK.
Mike enjoyed going to basketball games, livestock shows, church group trips, and fishing. He spent much time working in his garden and tending to his livestock. In more recent years his garden consisted of tomatoes, but nonetheless he enjoyed growing them. Mike enjoyed his trips to Arizona with Misty and their grandkids. He was better known by all his grandkids as Pa.
