Mikel was born October 29, 2005 in Akron, Ohio. He attended school in Ohio until last year when he moved to Supply. Mikel still kept in touch with many friends and teachers from Ohio, especially his favorite teacher Ms. Vanzie Wright. After moving here, Mikel started attending Cedar Grove Middle School in the 8th grade until his diagnosis as well as the COVID pandemic kept him away. He had a smile that could light up a room and touched the lives of everyone he met. Mikel enjoyed basketball, music, puzzles, crafts, and especially exotic cars. His last wish was to see a Lamborghini. This wish came true by a complete stranger on Sunday when he drove from Raleigh, North Carolina and parked in Mikel's front yard. With a weak smile, Mikel gave him a thumbs up from his window. At last, his wish was fulfilled. He was loved by many and will be greatly missed.
Survivors include his mother, Michelle Rowe and fiancé Zachary Bedlion; "Dad" Bobby Rowe, grandparents, Michael and Connie Gardner and Kathy Stalnaker; great grandmother, Mae Robinson; brother, Spencer Rowe; and step-sister, Amelia Bedlion.
