Mickey G. Dowell

His grandson, son, family, and congregation were his home, and his purpose was to serve those he loved.

Facing life and death with us in mind, bravely arranging and maintaining the present for a future of heartfelt, hard-work’s produce.

Mickey Gray Dowell died March 9, 2026, finally affording those busy hands a rest.

He came to Ash, North Carolina as a young boy and left a good man. The span in between proved him to be a gifted artist of beautiful drawings and paintings; an outdoorsman of the highest order, comfortable in any of Brunswick County’s many natural environments; a walking almanac- as gardener, top tier.

The same applies to his selflessness, humor, and good will.

Faith Full Gospel Church was his sanctuary of salvation, sanctification, and fellowship, where, as a mainstay, he grew, prospered, and offered. Great benefit befell him there with them. Christ in his heart compelled and led his words, thoughts, and deeds with brilliant obviousness.

Having left his mark of light, he now embraces its source, enjoined with his wondrous wife, Joyce Marie, and his Lord.

Graveside services will be Saturday, March 14, 2026 at eleven o’clock in the morning at Piver Family Cemetery with Reverend William Chappell officiating.
