of Mountain Home, OK
November 24, 1949 - July 14, 2015
Mickey Huskey, age 65, of Mountain Home, Arkansas passed away Tuesday, July 14, 2015, in Miami, Oklahoma. He was born November 24, 1949, in Harrison, Arkansas to Carl and Vonda (Lawrence) Huskey.
Mickey attended Bruno Schools until the tenth grade then moving to Yellville and graduating from there. Mickey and Linda were married in 1972, and lived in Mountain Home since then. They bought the Lockeroom in 1981, which began years of support for youth sports for the Mountain Home and surrounding area. It was also at that time he started sponsoring the American Legion Baseball Team. Mickey loved Mountain Home Athletics, but what set him apart from others was he also loved the surrounding schools just as much which contributed to the success of American Legion Baseball. He was very passionate about helping players further their baseball careers in any way that he could.
Mickey was instrumental in creating the Mr. & Mrs. Bomber awards for the Mountain Home High School He also sponsored this mascot award for well as over 30 schools throughout Arkansas and Missouri. He has touched so many lives of athletes through the 100s of teams he has sponsored in the Twin Lakes Area and beyond.
Mickey truly loved his family. Nothing brought him greater joy than to watch his granddaughters play sports. He was an avid Nascar fan, known for Christmas lights and enjoyed making people laugh.
Mickey is survived by his wife Linda Huskey of Mountain Home, a son Mitch Huskey and wife Krista of Mountain Home, a daughter Mandi Mears and husband Cody of Vilona, his mother Vonda Beebee and step-father Jack of Mountain Home, a brother Terry Huskey and wife Marilyn of Yellville and four grandchildren Payton, Parker, Laney and Kinley. He was preceded in death by his father.
Funeral services will be 1:00 p.m. Saturday, July 18, 2015, at East Side Baptist Church with Reverend Doug Huskey and Reverend Jimmy Dale Huskey officiating. A visitation will be Friday from Noon until 9:00 p.m. with the family receiving friends from 6:00 8:00 p.m. at the funeral home. Interment will be in Baxter Memorial Gardens.
Memorial contributions may be made to the Lockeroom American Legion Baseball Team, 1024 Locust St. Mountain Home, Arkansas 72653.

Linda
You and Mitch are in our thoughts and prayers. Mickey was such a wonderful man. I will never forget when you both were sitting in front of me at the football game against Batesville. Bobby had gotten hurt and I was ready to head down to the field when Bobby shook his head slightly no , so I sat back down. Mickey saw him and turned and said I will go check on him for you. He will forever be in my heart for that one kind moment. I pray for peace for all of you at this difficult time. God will see you threw it.

Mickey was just an awesome person to know! Since we are second cousins, I always loved it when my YS softball team would play Mt Home and Mandi and her team would face off against mine, and win or lose it was always extra special, because Mickey would be there and Uncle Carl! All our love from White Hall!

I am very sorry for the families loss. Mickey was a big influence in my life even though he probably never knew it. I worked at the Lockeroom for a few months one year when I was pretty young and I still to this day have never been around anyone more generous than Mickey Huskey. I had been a customer before working there but I was a fan of Mickey after I worked for The Lockeroom. I have tried to follow his example of generosity in my community since I started my own business and I still to this day tell stories of my short time in his and Linda's employment. Love and prayers to his family and the community he lived in.
