Michael “Mike” Freddy Horn

Michael “Mike” Freddy Horn of League City, Texas, went to Heaven on October 5, 2021, surrounded by his family, a day after his 70th birthday. Mike was born on October 4, 1951 in Tyler, TX to Fred and Pauline Horn. He was a lifelong Texan, and returned to the Houston area in 1989 after living there previously throughout the 1970’s.

He was preceded in death by his parents.

Mike leaves behind to cherish his memory: his wife of 42 years, Mary Horn; his siblings Steve Horn and Freida Horn; his two children, Crystal Horn and David Horn (wife Kaitie Horn), and his three grandchildren, Levin, Vaughn, and Clara (with a fourth grandchild arriving in December). 

Mike worked hard his entire life to support himself and his family – from the lignite power plant in East Texas to the Pipefitters Union and industrial plants surrounding Houston. Even after retirement, he couldn’t help but return to work, even if just to satisfy his need to be productive. 

If you were ever looking for Mike, it’s a good bet that you would have found him on a golf course, at a fishing hole, or bellying up to some good food. He took pride in his long driver, and his penchant for catching average-sized bass (and throwing them back). In his later years, he found photography as a passion, but his love of making others happy was one that stayed with him his entire life.  

If you’d like to pay your respects to Mike and his family, a memorial service will be held at the Crowder Funeral Home (1645 E. Main Street, League City, TX) at 1:00 PM on Friday, October 22nd. A live stream will also be available at: https://youtu.be/pEOAGXoViDo 

In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations to either of the following organizations in memory of Michael F. Horn: 

American Lung Association (https://www.lung.org/)

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital (https://www.stjude.org/donate)

  1. Mary, I didn’t know Mike as well as I did you but I remember when you, Mike, my husband Eddie and I went to that comedy club where a bunch of participants were hypnotized. I wish we had done more together! Mike was a really nice man and I could tell how much you enjoyed each other and how much love you both had for each other!

  11. Mary, Crystal, David & Freida,
    Carol and I share the loss of a husband, father, Grandfather, brother and friend. We grew up together, lived together and as our lives diversified, we grew apart. We reunited at Daddy’s on the holidays. We buried our parents, but the Horn / Smith blood still held a life long bond. I know that Mike was a born again Christian and was welcomed home by Mother and Daddy. Please take solace and strength in the knowledge that by the grace of God and Jesus, we will be reunited in Heaven for all eternity. I miss you Bubba.

    Steven & Carol Horn
    • Steve and Carol, We both loved/love you both. We will always be family. Mike was so thrilled that you came to see him, which turned out to be just a few weeks before his death. Thanks r kind words. Yes, those who believe, will reunite with Mike and other gone before him.

      Mary
  12. Mary, Crystal and David,

  13. Mary, Crystal and David, I’m so sorry for your loss. Mike was such a fun guy. He seemed game for pretty much anything. I know he will surely be missed by many. Take comfort in knowing that he is resting now in God’s loving arms. Prayers for your family to ease the pain.
