Born in Moose Jaw on November 5, 1957 to George and Jean Mintenko, Mickey was raised on the family farm in Moose Jaw and attended Alexandra, Lindale and Palliser Heights Elementary Schools, Peacock Collegiate, Luther College and SIAST where he completed a carpentry course. Mickey was a "Free Spirit" from the time he was born and had a zest for life compared to none! If there were words to describe him they would be "No Fear I'm 10 feet tall and bullet proof!" Mickey had a passion for all sports, especially golf and didn't blink an eye when it came to a wager or bet on any sporting event. Mickey and his brother Doug farmed the family farm for many years up until the present, and in the winters it was "Mickey Time." He experienced many different winter destination areas but a trip to Thailand in 2001 with Dougie and some of Mickey's "Buds" was an outstanding experience for him. Everyone knew where to find Mickey at around 4:00 p.m. each day. It was "Cocktail Time at the Park" with all of his many buddies where they told stories and shared some B.S. Mickey acquired many nicknames throughout his lifetime, some of which were: "Hair Ball", "Buckwheat", "Alligator Al", "Hollywood" and most notable, "Quick Mick!" Mickey wore a "Shield of Armor" on the outside but if his family or a friend needed him he was there. He was a member of the Masonic Lodge #3, Moose Jaw Shrine Club and the Moose Jaw Shrine Club Equestrian Unit. Mickey was predeceased by his Dad, George, grandparents, John Mintenko, W.H. and Irene Johnstone as well as several aunts and uncles. Mickey will be lovingly remembered and his memory cherished by his children: Dustin and Dylan Mintenko and their mother, Leslie, Devon Falasca and his mother Andrea. By his Mom, Jean Mintenko (Jack York); brothers and sisters: Stephanie (Harvey) Schofer, Doug (Teresa Marie) Mintenko, Robbyn (Jeff) Cresta, Lori (Brad) Bowden, Geri (Mark) Musson, Ralph Mintenko, grandmother, Elizabeth Mintenko; nieces and nephews: Lisa (James) Morgan, Stesha Toledo (Sean), Derek (Mei-Ling), Jered and Charlie (Jordan) Mintenko, Mitch, Reanna and Riley Bowden, Kelly and Jenny Nikolic, Matt and Jason Mintenko; greatnieces and nephews: Brittany, Ryan and Brooklyn Morgan and Jade Toledo, as well as all his friends and "Buddies" A Celebration of Mickey's Life will be held on Monday, December 1, 2003 at 1:30 p.m. at Zion United Church, 423 Main Street North, Moose Jaw. Linda Owens will officiate. Memorialization will take place at a later date.
