GROESBECK, Texas This weekend, a Renaissance Festival in Groesbeck will honor a Waco man who died last month after a second bout with cancer.
Mike Tillery was well-known in the renaissance community and was known in close circles as Crooked Beard or Mikee Mann. After cancer spread to his liver, they all thought Tillery would beat that too, until he went septic on Mother s Day. It kind of opened our eyes, and we started to realize that the end was near, Mike s son Anthony Tillery told 6 News in June. And the one thing that he had always loved was the Renaissance Fair.
