He loved life and always had a smile on his face.  He loved spending time with his family and friends, but his favorite place to go was Aruba to spend time with his Aruban family. Mickey’s passion was his Harley, and he passed away being out on the open road, doing what he loved the most.
    Funeral services were held at 2 p.m. on Friday, August 1, 2014 at the White Funeral Home and Crematory with Reverend Sonya Toby officiating.
