Mitchell “Mickey” Fields


Mitchell “Mickey” Fields, 58 of Richwood, died unexpectedly Sunday, November 27, 2016 at home.

He was born June 25, 1958 in Marion to Glenn “Ernie” and Thelma Louise (Wood) Fields.  His mother preceded him in death in 2010.

A 1976 graduate of North Union High School, he was a dedicated employee at Whirlpool Corporation for 40 years.  

Family was the center of Mickey’s life and he loved family get-togethers.  His daughter, Cassi was the apple of his eye as well his future son-in-law, James whom he considered his own son.

He loved growing up in Richwood and was proud of his heritage, always supporting local businesses and activities.  A serious music lover, he was a well-known DJ around Richwood, working many events with the equally notorious DJ Fergie.  He was an avid car buff, and was most proud of his 1978 Silver Anniversary Special Edition Corvette that he bought from Mills in Richwood.

He is survived by his father, Glenn “Ernie” Fields, Richwood; a daughter, Cassi (James Garrison) Fields, Richwood; brothers and sisters, Pam (Joe) Alli, Belleville, Michigan; Kim (Thomas) James, Whitehall; numerous nieces and nephews and close friends; and several close friends of Cassi, who were just like daughters to him.

Funeral services will be Thursday, December 1, 2016 at 11:00 AM at the Stofcheck-Ballinger Funeral Home, Richwood with Pastor Joe Rhea officiating.  Burial will follow in Claibourne Cemetery.  Friends may call on Wednesday from 5 to 7 PM at the funeral home.
