He was employed for many years at Steven Industries and Reeves Construction Company, in Albany, Georgia.

He was preceded in death by one sister, Pamela Denise Grier; maternal grandparents, Bessie Mae Sloan and Elder Andrew Sloan; fraternal grandparents, Rebecca Grier Calloway and Henry Grier, Sr.; and two granddaughters, Nikernia Grier and Tikkeria Grier.
Michael leaves to forever cherish his memories: his loving mother, Addie Mae Sloan Grier; loving son, Michael Grier, Jr.; four grandchildren, Wydetra Grier, J’Mia Grier, Y’Kerida Grier, and Mikeria Grier; one brother, Elder James Grier, Sr., (Jean); two sisters, Sheryl Grier and Helen Hilyard; and a host of nieces, nephews, and friends.
