Born in Newnan, GA to the late George Hope Scudder and Inez (Bourne) Scudder, Mike moved to Savannah as a child, where he graduated from Savannah High School, and met his bride to be, Betty Coppage, whom he married on January 18 1958. Mike and Betty lived in Augusta from 1959 until 1965 when they moved to Doraville where Mike ran the Atlanta branch of MECO of Savannah, Inc., a leader in the petroleum equipment industry. Mike eventually acquired MECO's Atlanta and Savannah branches. Though never truly "retired", Mike continued to provide guidance to his sons and daughter as they managed MECO of Atlanta, Inc.
A loving husband, brother, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, Mike loved spending time with his family. He was an avid golfer and member of the Atlanta Athletic Club, and he absolutely loved his Georgia Bulldogs.
