At his very heart, Mickey was a family man. As a devoted husband, father, and grandfather, he poured himself into the lives of those around him, leaving an irreplaceable warmth in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to call him their own.
Mickey was blessed to share 27 happy years of marriage with his beloved wife, Alicia, a bond that was a true testament to love, commitment, and partnership. At home, he truly came alive — whether gathered around a video game, a board game, a good book, or his own creative writing, he had a gift for turning ordinary moments into lasting memories. A devoted companion to his cherished dog, Smokey, Mickey and his furry friend were rarely far apart. The two could often be found napping together or playing, and when they weren't, Smokey was faithfully curled at Mickey's feet beneath his desk — a loyal shadow to a man who gave his whole heart to everything he loved. Mickey was deeply loved and will be profoundly missed.
Mickey was greeted at the gates of eternity by his beloved son, Caden Ash Lusk; his father, Mickey Lynn Lusk Sr.; and his grandmother, Wilma Glenn.
He leaves behind to cherish his memory his loving and dedicated wife, Alicia Kay Price Lusk; children, Ivy (Travis) Holly, Rose Lusk; mother, Pat Lusk; sisters, Amy (Todd) Ottinger, Jayla Lusk; grandchild, Shepherd Holly; nieces, Madison Price, Maycee Price, Dreama Ottinger; nephews, Matthew Price, Logan Ottinger, Izaiah Ottinger; mother and father-in-law, Nancy and Roger Price.
