Over the years he made true friends and remained very close to them all. Mickey later retired from the City of Rockville due to a back injury. Mickey accepted Jesus Christ at a young age. He later joined the Light of Faith Non-Denominational Church under the leadership of Pastor Theresa Henderson. Mickey played his guitar with the music ministry and helped start a gospel group called "One Love Gospel" with family and friends.

A TIME TO LIVE LIFE
In Mickey's early years he would hunt with longtime friend and brother-in-law Tyrone Neal. He also kept busy playing his guitar and dressing up as Santa on Christmas for the kids. He loved hosting professional fight and NFL football parties at his home, as he was a diehard Redskins fan, making sure he was front and center at the television for every game. He enjoyed his seafood dinners with his son Cap, which became a special tradition between the two. Mickey had a love for music, which included oldies-but-goodies and Go-Go, his favorite being "Go-Go Mickey." Mickey loved his family and adored his grandkids, of whom he has a special kind of love for.
