It was with sadness I learned of Mike’s death. I remember him, first, as a little boy of seven when I joined the family. He loved to visit us on the farm on Woods Pike in Bethlehem. Moving to Northern Kentucky with his family because of his father’s work, Mike continued to visit and spent many hours working with us on the farm. The work ethic he exhibited as a teen was remarkable. In later years, via phone calls, we would discuss family history, current affairs, and at times our differing political views. His unique smile, a smile that lit up his pretty eyes, the smile I could hear in his voice, will be missed. Via phone calls, we would discuss family history, current affairs, and at times, our differing political views. I know I will truly miss him.
Rest easy, Mike.
My condolences to the family.
Condolences to his Family
I am so sorry to hear the news of the passing of Mike Lyons. I have known him his entire legal career and he always represented his clients zealously and with compassion. We have lost a true gentleman from the practice of law.
I am out of town and unfortunately will not be able to attend his visitation. I will keep his family in my thoughts and prayers.

Having known Mike for over 30 years through the legal community, I can truly say that we have lost a dedicated attorney and a gentleman. He was always kind to me, and I enjoyed practicing around him earlier in my career. I’m fortunate to represent his home county of Henry, and he will be laid to rest in a beautiful part of Kentucky. God Bless his soul and his family as they grieve this loss.
