He is survived by his brother, Lee; sister-in-law, Valerie; two nephews, Tyler and Trevor, all of Plymouth, Mich. Mick leaves behind many dear friends, particularly John and Lori Schweigert of Billings. Mick relished the time he could spend with his family and friends and he was eternally grateful to John and Lori for their unwavering and unconditional friendship.
A memorial service will be held in Mick's honor at Holy Rosary Church, 501 Custer Ave., Billings, on Thursday, Dec. 28, at 2 p.m. Refreshments will be served to family and friends immediately afterward.

On behalf of my brother Mick, I want to thank all of you for your thoughtfulness during this difficult time. I've attempted to respond to everyone who provided e-mail addresses. For those of you who I did not respond to, thank you! Your thoughtfulness is appreciated more than you know. Val and I look forward to seeing and renewing old friendships on the 28th.
Sincerely,
Lee and Valerie

Mick and I were basically best friends growing up together. Camping, fishing and school pranks are part of the memories I have for Mick. Terry Park also brings back some great memories. He will be missed. Best wishes to Lee, Valerie and family.

Lee, we know that your bother, "Mick", was important to you. You were a very kind, caring brother - as you are with everyone. It's hard to loose a loved one as you already know from loosing your parents. Just remember that your memories will keep your loved ones close you. Val, Tyler and Trevor, from visiting with "Mick," we know that all of you were an important part of his life.

You all are in our thoughts and prayers,

My mother Vivian Bianchi and I loved and enjoyed Mick's friendship the past 3 years. He was my mom's best friend, always telling her to adopt him. So I called him my little brother. We are grieving his passing but kow that he will always be with us with memories of his kindness. My mother always said Mick was so sweet. Even though she is 87 yrs old and Mick was 44, they were best of friends. We wish to tell his friends and family how much he was loved by us.

The McCarty family and ours were close throughout all of the early years in our lives. I remember the days of skating or football or maybe just hanging out at Terry Park. The years that we all grew up together through all of our years at Broadwater, Lincoln and finally at Senior high school are treasured memories to me. The man may be gone but Mick's memories will stay with me forever! Love you guys. God Bless you through these times.
