Mike Screeney, Facilities Manager

What do you do at Gayton?

As Facilities Manager, I’ll be responsible to make sure needed repairs are addressed and that required State and local inspections are scheduled. We want everyone to be safe and comfortable when they visit.

When did you first come to Gayton and/or when did you join the staff?

My wife, Deanna, and I first visited Gayton at the end of the Pandemic as things returned to normal and became members several months later. I joined the staff in September 2026.

Where were you before cominng to Gayton?

I worked with a home medical equipment company for most of my career and retired in 2025.

Tell us a little about your family and/or pets.

My wife, Deanna, and I raised our family in Richmond. The Lord has blessed our three amazing sons and daughters-in-law with six handsome and beautiful children with a couple more on the way. Deanna and I are blessed and thankful for our family.

What do you enjoy doing when you’re not at Gayton?

I enjoy being with my wife and family as often as I can and want to be involved with them and help them in any way possible.

What is one of your favorite things? 

I enjoy learning and trying new things and want to stay active.

What is your favorite Scripture verse or passage, and why?

One verse that is significant to me is Ephesians 2:8 “For it is by grace that you have been saved, through faith - and this is not of yourselves, it is the gift of God."

I was raised in a church that taught us we had to do certain things and live a certain way to please God and be a Christian. The Lord used this and many other verses to help me realize that Jesus’ death on the cross was the only way I could have a relationship with God and be able to spend eternity with Him.
