Mike Bilderback, 78, of Springdale, Arkansas, passed away peacefully surrounded by family at home on Saturday, May 18, 2024, to be with his Lord and Savior. Born on January 1, 1946, in Fayetteville, Arkansas, he was the beloved son of Vernon and Florence Wolfe Bilderback. Mike married the love of his life, Sue Eastep, on March 30, 1973, and enjoyed 51 wonderful years together. As an avid outdoorsman, Mike found joy in football, hunting, and fishing.
