Mickey loved his baby girl Hannah Grace.  He was a lover of the outdoors and fished on a daily basis.  Mickey was a USC Gamecocks fan.   He was a lover of dogs.  Mickey was extremely intelligent and could build anything from the ground up.  He never met a stranger and he always could light up a room.   Mickey was a story teller extraordinaire.   He loved his country and proudly served in the US Marines.   His generous heart touched everyone and he would give anyone the shirt off his back.
