Mickey loved the outdoors, his boat, his “Alexa” music from the 40’s and 50’s and telling jokes. His sense of humor was unmatched. He could fix anything and was a baker extraordinaire. Most of all he loved his wife and his family.

Mickey served proudly in the US Military, the Mentor on the Lake Fire Department and retired from Weyerhaeuser Corporation after 35 years of dedicated service. Mickey and Shirley moved from Riverside, California to Arizona to live on the river. He created many memories for his wife, family and friends to forever remember.

A private family service celebrating the life of Mickey will be held March 23rd, 2019.
