Originally from West Bend, Wisc., Mickey lived a life that consisted of hard work, travel, race cars, Charger games, golf, and having fun with friends and family. He had a passion for the racing industry and made it his career for 30 years. He spent many years traveling all over the world with various race teams, but California is where he called home.

Although diagnosed with a fatal disease, Mikey handled everything that life gave him with dignity and grace. He put one foot in front of the other and kept a smile and a sense of humor all the way to the very end. Mikey and Irene have set a perfect example of how to live after being diagnosed with cancer. Irene never left his side and the unconditional love that she has for him was apparent in all her actions. The two of them never let their spirits get down and were the "favorite patients" around UCSD. Mikey was a man of great character and of substance. He has been an inspiration of courage, integrity and selflessness.
