On July 25, 1987, he was united in marriage to Wendy Rodruck in Mount Pleasant. Mike worked as a truck driver all of his life and owner/operator of Mike Harbison Trucking. You would never meet a person who had more knowledge of Mack Trucks than Mike. One of his biggest life highlights was the commercial “The Horn” that he had the honor to be a part of. Mike traveled to many truck shows and truck pulls and received numerous awards. He was a member of the ATHS and ATCA antique truck clubs. His family and grandchildren and the time he spent with them was the most important thing to Mike.
