The Life of Michael Andrew Tinnin

Michael Andrew Tinnin was born in St. Louis, Missouri on June 6, 1951 to the late George and Gladys Tinnin.

Michael, along with his family moved to Texas sometime between 1954 and 1955. He attended Kirby Jr. High School. One of Michael's favorite things to do was to go fishing with his Dad and brother, Andy.

Michael received the infilling of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in other tongues and then was baptized in Jesus' Name on February 19, 1978 at Aldine United Pentecostal Church.

Michael married Billie "Bonnie" Harper on March 15, 1986 at Aldine United Pentecostal Church, where they continued serving the Lord. They also attended Channelview Tabernacle for a short time. They became devoted members of The Church of Humble in 2017.

Michael's favorite scripture was Acts 2:38 and his favorite song was "I'm a one God, Apostolic." He was never ashamed to sing it, no matter where he was. He would also stop and pray, no matter where he was or who was there. He loved his Lord and loved the people of God.

God decided to call Michael to his eternal home on Saturday, December 5, 2020 after a valiant battle with Parkinson's disease. He was preceded in death by his parents, George and Gladys Tinnin; brothers, Richard Tinnin and Terry Tinnin; step-daughter, Bessie Antrim; and granddaughter, Sarah Antrim.

Michael is survived by his wife, Billie "Bonnie" Tinnin; step-daughter, Jeannie Lilley, granddaughter, Jaimie Odor; grandsons, Cory Lilley and James Antrim; great-grandson, James Odor; sisters, Vicki Desmuke and Deborah Smith; and brother, Andrew King Tinnin; along with a host of friends.

I am Free

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free,

I'm following the path God laid for me.

I took His Hand when I heard Him call

I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day

To laugh, to love, to work or play.

Tasks left undone must stay that way.

I found that place at the close of day.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow

I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.

My life's been full, I savored much,

Good friends, good times,

A loved one's touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief

Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.

Lift up your hearts and share with me

God wanted me now, he set me free.
