Mickey J. Brechbiel

Mickey (Mick) J. Brechbiel, 76, of Logansport, died of natural causes on Friday, January 22, 2016 in his residence.

Mick was born on October 30, 1939 in the front bedroom of a small house one-half block from Main St. in Burnettsville, to the late Ralph and Lois Brechbiel. He graduated from Burnettsville High School in 1957. After four years in the Navy, he moved back to Burnettsville where he worked as a Barber for several years before working at Rockwell and eventually as a delivery driver for the J.H. Saylor Candy Company. He also worked for a small time as a delivery driver for Buttice Fruits.

He was a social butterfly in his own rite and a loving father. He married Marilyn Morrison and the couple had two children together (Chrystal and Shannen). Subsequently, he married Judy Woodruff and had one child together (Darlene). Subsequently, he then married Loretta Cain and her daughter (Mindy).

Mick was a socially active man who was deeply involved with the VFW Post #3790 and the American Legion Post #60 for the majority of his life. He enjoyed playing cards, reading horoscopes, golf, and generally just spending time with other people. His family and friends will always remember him as ornery, outgoing, friendly, and a loving person.
