Mickey Hill Obituary

Mickey loved the Colorado outdoors and enjoyed riding his motorcycle and spending time with family and friends. Other interests included reading, gun collecting, car shows and throwing darts. He was an Air Force Veteran, and after his military service, was a talented building contractor. His artistic talent and creativity was reflected in many small projects and wood-working. Mickey was born in Piqua, Ohio and spent most of his life in Colorado Springs. He was a loving father and grandfather. He is survived by his mother, Lois Wagner; daughters: Angela, Karmen, and Lisa; grandchildren: Hailey, Jesse, Nathan, Anthony, and Zachary. A Celebration of Life to honor Mickey will be held Sat. May 25, 2013 at Turkey Creek Ranch @ 12 noon. The celebration will be a potluck gathering. Please bring your favorite dish to share and cold beverage to toast together. Please wear red and black. Mick, you will be in our hearts forever!
