Mikey led a rich and fulfilling life. He was a retired independent mail courier and a talented house painter. His passions included his frequent pilgrimages to Graceland, having visited the iconic home of Elvis Presley over 30 times, as well as Tupelo, Elvis' birthplace. Mikey had an unwavering love for gospel music, cherished his feline companions, adored snowy days, celebrated Christmas with gusto, and found solace in rainy weather. He possessed a sharp sense of humor and quick wit. His final message to friends and family who knew him well was, “Return to sender! I told you I was sick!” He also enjoyed tinkering around the house and reminiscing about his days playing basketball in his youth.
