Mike Sparks was born January 1974 to parents Ladonna and James Burch in Zanesville, Ohio. His actual birth name was Michael James Burch. Information in this wiki page are from my memory of events. In a couple instances, some of the information was given to me from relatives.

It was an interesting start to a life, to say the least. Parents who had each spent their fair time in the "mental hospital" in Athens, Ohio- the fact that they were even having a child together given their pasts was in and if itself pretty unique.

James apparently was "messed up" at birth, whether it be from a traumatic birth with a lack of oxygen, or some other birth complications, I don't know. Might even be just cruddy genes. But I was told he was born that way- not the sharpest tool in the shed some might say.

Ladonna...she was a different story. Pretty. A quick learner in and out of school. Bright, sharp, witty- all words I heard used to describe her. A pretty singing voice. A child many parents would be proud to call their own.
