Not sure what to say?

Mickey was a great softball player competing on the highest level. He was also a great person!!! Rest in peace with both God and Jesus!!!

Played with Micky on Warren Motors back in 77. Great Friend. Sorry for your loss

It's been almost ten years since I received a call from Bill Ferguson in Corpus Christi telling me that Mickey had passed away. My heart sunk and I'm still sad today. After a tremendous college career at TCU, and playing professional football, Mickey graced us in Corpus Christi playing open class softball for Taylor Brothers Jewelers. Besides being an All World softball player, he was a gentle giant and and a tremendous friend. Mickey never forgot his roots or where he came from,...

To Mickey, Paula, and Cody,
I have been thinking of Mickey the past few days. I had lost touch with him after my husband, family, and I had moved out of state. I looked him up on Google today to try to reconnect with him and just found out he passed away. My heart is so sad to hear. He was a precious friend. I was his ICU nurse after his first heterotopic heart transplant. I took care of him for weeks. We developed a special friendship and stayed in touch for many years.

To Mickey, Paula and his son Cody (family)
for some reason i was suppose to Google my old friend Mickey Mccarth today and very saddened about the news that i just came across. i knew Mickey back in Kansas City around the 1968-70 era.

Just read about Mickey death in a TCU Magazine. My late husband and I (Richard Westbrook) were friends of his both at TCU and when he played for Kansas City. ( Richard also died of stomach cancer in 1982). Guess the two of them can now watch games from the best seats in heaven. Candy Rose Westbrook

I knew Mickey when I was about 5 years old. I wonder now if his son would even remember our friendship from years ago. My name is Louis Ljung. And I want to reconnect with this family, especially now. My heart goes out to you, Cody, we knew each other as children, and I know you're bond with your father. Peace be with you and your family.

Mickey was a very special man in so many ways. He was a Friend and Mentor to many. I will miss him deeply.

So very sorry I was unable to attend the service. Mickey was one of my (and his coach Johnny's) favorite people, and of course, player! His health problems just didn't seem fair. My condolences to Mrs. McCarty and family. I will miss knowing he is still with us. Mike and Susie join me in sympathy.
