"I never did like you, until now."

- Mike to Andrew over their poor relationship and assistance over his coming death.

Mike Palmer is a survivor of the outbreak in The Walking Dead Webisodes: Torn Apart. Mike was an older survivor living in Andrew's neighborhood, married to Maggie, and they had two children together.

Pre-Apocalypse
He owned a truck and possessed a number of weapons, including a shotgun. His relationship with his neighbor Andrew was somewhat strained, as Mike felt that Andrew looked down on him, saying "you brought home a bigger paycheck."

The Palmers had never divorced, but Mike was forced to shoot his wife after she turned. Mike didn't "have the heart" to put down his children, and instead asked Andrew to do it instead, before handing over the shotgun he had been weilding. Before the apocalypse, he was celebrating his 50th birthday with his family and holding a party at his house- a party that was interrupted by walkers.

Post-Apocalypse
Not knowing that the situation was out of control with attempting to contain the infection, his wife and children became infected during his birthday party. He was attacked by his wife and possibly injured on his foot before he was able to retrieve his weapons and kill her. However, he was unable to kill his own children and left them upstairs, pounding on the door while he went to confront Andrew in the basement. Andrew visited him to borrow his truck and weapons to assist with putting down his injured dog, and helped his family and ex-wife escape the town and drive toward Atlanta.
