"My family The Matthew's and The Carnes were pretty close when Mickey and I were kids. Went to high school together. And even in different circles of friends. No matter where or what he was doing, he would always say hi. He was larger then life, even as a kid. I am saddened by his passing. My heartfelt prayers are for his family! "
