Mickey was raised in both Louisiana and Oklahoma, later graduating high school in Chickasha, Oklahoma. Following his high school graduation, he attended a few years of college before entering the United States Navy, where he would proudly serve his country for eleven years. On July 1, 1978, he was united in marriage to Nancy Brown and together they shared forty-four years of marriage. They enjoyed gardening together, with Mickey raising vegetables and Nancy the flowers. He loved fishing, especially with his grandsons, and spending time with all of his family.
Mickey made a profession of faith and was an active member of the Camdenton Church of Christ where he was faithfully devoted, serving as an inspiration for those who had the pleasure of knowing him.
He was a loving and a caring husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend. We celebrate his life and his accomplishments and will treasure the memories he created for his family and friends.
