He was preceded in death by his father and step-mother, Bill and Barbara (Butler) Haney; and his mother, Nancy Chaney.

Mike was a 1983 graduate of County Line High School. He was a public servant for most of his life beginning with his time as a volunteer firefighter. Mike volunteered for 30 years, first with the Branch Fire Department and then the Ratcliff Fire Department. During that time he developed an interest in Emergency Medicine and ultimately achieved the status of paramedic for Logan County EMS from 1998 - 2010. Throughout that time he was a member of LCEMS Rescue and certified for Swift Water Rescue. He taught countless CPR and First Aide classes in addition to teaching EMT classes for ATU Ozark for several years. Mike was also interested in law enforcement and became a part-time deputy for Logan County and Paris Police Department for several years, while working as a full time paramedic, before joining the Paris Police Department full time in 2010 to assume the role of School Resource Officer for the Paris School District. Shaping the lives of the children in our community was the job he loved most. He always said, "I don't have to go to work. I get to go to work."
