A. Delbert Mickel, Jr., 64, of Little Rock, Arkansas, passed away on Saturday, August 11, 2012. Delbert, born in Conway, Arkansas, on April 29, 1948, spent his childhood in Russellville and Conway, before earning his doctorate in law from the University of Arkansas. He owned Mickel Law Firm, P.A., in Little Rock. Delbert was a loving husband, the most amazing father, and was beyond enthusiastic for baseball. He was a coach, mentor, employer and friend, but above all else, Delbert was a selfless man of generosity whose goal in life was to give back to all. Delbert is preceded in death by his parents, Argus Delbert Mickel and Gladys Julia (Potts) Mickel. He is survived by his wife, Debbie Mickel of Little Rock; his sons, Jefferson Davis Mickel and his wife Cassandra Reed, of Houston, Texas, and Argus Wesley Mickel and his wife, Mary Elizabeth, of Austin, Texas; his brother, Tom Mickel, and his wife, Ashley of Conway, Arkansas. The Mickel family would like to thank everyone who gave care and compassion to Delbert during the past four years. You gave him love and encouragement that only very special people could. God bless you all. Funeral services will be held at Second Presbyterian Church, 600 Pleasant Valley Drive, in Little Rock at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, August 15, 2012. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorials be made to ACCESS School, Little Rock Catholic High School for Boys and Second Presbyterian Church.
