Mickey completed his education at Benton Harbor Area Schools, graduating from Benton Harbor High School in 1990.

He later enrolled in Twin City Beauty College, where he graduated and became a skilled cosmetologist. Although he found professional fulfillment as a freelancer in the beauty industry, Mickey's greatest joy came from spending quality time with his family, relishing movies, music, and savoring delicious food.

Beyond his professional accomplishments, Mickey was a devoted father, son, and brother. His legacy lies in the love, laughter, and treasured memories he leaves behind. Mickey's children will forever remember him as a constant source of guidance, unwavering support, and unconditional love. They will cherish the countless memories they shared together throughout their lives. Mickey found true happiness in playing games, watching movies with his family, and nurturing strong bonds with his children.

He embraced each day with enthusiasm and dedication, treating it as if it were his last. Mickey possessed a unique ability to make everyone around him feel seen, heard, and valued. His genuine compassion touched the lives of many and left an indelible mark on their hearts.
