Mr. Gargus was born Oct. 28, 1966, to Larry James and Omie Pickard Gargus. He was a retired truck driver for Taylor Express. Mickey lived a full life in his short 55 years. He could often be found making something by hand as he was a skilled self-made carpenter. He often enjoyed jamming out to his favorite hair bands on one of his many guitars, as he was a collector. Mickey also enjoyed spending time with his beloved Melody Joyner and their two fur-children, Brittany and Romo.
He is survived by his mother, Omie Gargus (David); sister, Lorie Wills (Brady); niece, Jamie Cur-ran (Dustin); nephews, Chandler and Trenton Wills; his girlfriend, Melody Joyner; and his girlfriend’s parents, Betty and Jackie Joyner.
Mr. Gargus was preceded in death by his father, Larry James Gargus; brother, Kenny Gargus; grandparents, William and Willie Mae Pickard and James H. and Mamie Gargus; great-nephew, Martin Wills; and several uncles, aunts and cousins.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be sent to White-Ranson Funeral Home.
