Mickey, Macon, Dad, Daddy O, or just O.  Son, brother, father, grandfather, Marine, FBI agent, friend—All who met or knew him will remember–-He loved the Lord and loved people.  On August 6th, 2022, at the age of 78, Mickey went home to be with his parents and Heavenly Father.  Even beyond his life of accomplishments while serving the Marines in Vietnam and the Dominican Republic, or his outstanding 25 year performance while with the FBI, his impact will continue on through the lives of his siblings, (Rusty, Betty, Scott, Becky, Tom), his former wife (Cathy), his children, (Kim Wymer, Cindy Pethel, Chip, & Cooper Overton), and his grandchildren (Sebastion, Cole, Kate, Leah, Teigh, Jase, and Thomas).  All who shared life, time, or a meal with Mickey have been forever changed.  We look forward to the day when we will once again celebrate a meal together with Mickey and our Lord.
