Mac, Helen and Johnny! My heart is so broken. It felt like a part of my soul left when I was told the news. Mickey was such a sweetheart and Jade, Payton and myself are so blessed that our families met and became good friends. There was no other like Mickey and he brought so many smiles to our faces and so many fun memories. Longhorns and friends for life. That was our pact and motto. Continued prayers. We love y’all.

The Littlefield family shares a sadden heart. I had to honor to know Mikey through the F.I. Recreation Dept.

Our family is grieving with yours.

Im so sorry for the lost of sweet Mikey .. I remember when we were all kids running around fox trace all the kids .. we all use to play man hunt and I remember me and Mikey being on a team together and he said Jordan we have to find somewhere really good and the other team couldn’t find us for a long time haha we went by the pool and we got in trouble cause it was dark outside and it was like 10 o’clock at night. Mikey was truly one of my good friends when we were young .. one of the first friends I made when I moved to South Carolina. Me and Mikey ran into each other a few months ago downtown Greenville and we talked a few then he gave me a hug than we went about our ways .. Mikey you’ll be missed ❤️ A sweet soul gone to soon.

So heartbroken to hear about Mikey’s passing . He was a great kid with a huge personality and so full of life. I had the pleasure of meeting Mikey and his dad John while working at the YMCA about 9-10 yrs ago. Mikey would yell K-E-L-L-Y every time he saw me at the YMCA . My deepest sympathies go out to his family. RIP sweet guy.
