Mike married Teresa Henson on October 20, 2009 in Lancaster, Texas. He was a great man of faith, wonderful husband, loving father, brother, uncle and friend. He was a world class athlete, 1st Round Draft pick 1966, signed with the Phillies, two time Iron Man in Kona, long-distance cyclist, but his greatest accomplishment was being a Dad. Mike was also a great leader, mentoring and developing future leaders across the nation, impacting lives, one at a time. If you spent any time with Mike Biko, you felt enlightened and very privileged. Mike was a man of integrity and his faith in God was at the center of everything and his family and friends meant the world to him. Mike was fascinating and had a great sense of humor…he was a very, very, very funny guy, if you didn’t think so, you just needed to ask him. His smile was infectious and he had the spirit of a lion. He made the best cheesecake in the world, guacamole salad that was extra special and always sang Happy Birthday opera style!
