Michael (Mike) Andrew Soller was not just any man, but a remarkable legend who lived life to the fullest. Born on April 5, 1948, in Ratcliff, Arkansas, he was the cherished son of Edwin Jake Soller and Virginia Marie (Manning) Soller. He died April 4, 2025, at the Clinton Veterans Center.
Mike’s dedication to his country was evident when he joined the Army as a young man, serving in the Vietnam War. Afterward, he met Teresa, whose love and support helped him pursue higher education while overcoming the trauma of war. She was his cheerleader, especially during a time when Vietnam Veterans were mistreated. With her support, Mike graduated from college and then joined the Air Force as a commissioned officer, serving with honor for 20 years in various roles – talk about dedication!
Mike adored Teresa 53 adventurous years, raising a family and sharing a love that could make a romantic comedy blush. Mike was immensely proud of his kids, Cyndi Soller, Amy Carbajal (her husband Don), Michael Soller (his wife Melissa), and Annie Johnson (her husband Dustin). He would brag about their achievements to anyone who would listen – seriously, even the dog knew their accomplishments.
