    “Uncle Mick,” as everyone called him, had worked as an iron worker for most of his life and was a member of the Local 27 Steel Worker’s Union.  After his retirement, he went to work at Defa’s Dude Ranch where he and his brother, Jay, owned and ran Wilderness Outfitters for over ten years.  He really enjoyed snowmobile riding, hunting, fishing, horseback riding, telling stories and partying with his friends.  He was always listening to anything by George Jones, who was a good friend.

    He was preceded in death by a grandson, Terrell Ziegler, II; siblings, Lorraine Patton, Nina Gines, William “Billy” Sizemore, his parents, and his most famous horse "Cash" that carried him up the mountain, but left him to walk himself down.
    A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
