Rest Easy In the Arms of Our Lord, Friend Mickey.
Karen and I will be praying for your beautiful soul and lighting a forest fire of Prayer Candles during Mass.
We'll be BSing again in a few years, my old friend.

Today Mickey heard the words "Well done my good and faithful servant" from or Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. What a wonderful day for him it is. So very very true! Michael said that he went peacefully in his sleep, no pain, no suffering. I told him that many here deeply loved him, will honestly miss him, and look forward to seeing him again. Michael said that, that means a lot to them, and to thank you all for the very kind thoughts. Family is reading this thread. I hope so, to let them know how much he meant to so many folks, most that he never met in person. Says alot about a person. May that give them some comfort. I have to believe if he touched this many folks on the internet then it was 100x in person. Funny how the quiet ones have the greatest impact. No coincidence that we never saw Mr Coleman involved in any of the posts that attacked folks on here. Never a bad word I ever saw.

This bunch doesn't agree on much, but it's obvious we can all agree Mickey was a fine man. And I think Mickey would be the first to give the credit to Jesus Christ for his character, and his character pointed back to Him.
Condolences to those he left behind. Well put fellas. Was a kind man. Only met one time but he was always very helpful on many projects.

I'm still in disbelief. The last we'd spoken, I wrangled him into accepting a BBQ lunch on me whenever I got to Montgomery next.
A special man, who'll be greatly missed.

he was one of the guys on my bucket list to meet.
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

Been at the fire a long time and Micky has been around as long as I can remember. Damned fine man and a damned shame.

Feels like I lost an Uncle that kept in touch here on line.

I just read this and am very sad. There are not enough nice people in the world. R.I.P. Mickey.

I never had a chance to meet him, but thought I knew him, a lot from our mutual love of dogs. His love of dogs says a lot about him as a man. I did have a chance to exchange emails now and then about dogs.
Like most on here, it is a personal loss. For all the faults of the campfire and some of the residents, to get acquainted with people like Micky in various states is worth oh so much.
Via Con Dios Mickey.

So sorry to read this, I had spoken to Mickey about building me a rifle a few years ago, and when he announced he was getting out of the business I regretted not having Mickey build me a rifle.
I always tried to take time to read posts he made, enjoyed his gardening and life's stories, his dogs, his gentleman writings and admire his demeaner and love for God. I doubt Mickey had ever written ill of anyone, he just didn't seem the sort.
God bless the Coleman family

A very fine gentleman has moved on.
Prayers to his family.
