Warren Michael "Mickey" King
June 2, 1949 - April 19, 2026
Warren Michael "Mickey" King, age 76 and a resident of Franklinton, went to his Heavenly home early Sunday morning April 19, 2026. He was born June 2, 1949 in Yukon, Missouri in the home of his paternal grandparents. He was a 1967 graduate of Central Lafourche High School in Mathews, Louisiana. In September 1970, Mickey was drafted by the United States Army. After completing basic training at Fort Polk, Louisiana, he was sent to school to learn flight dispatcher (helicopters) procedures. Following completion of his specialized training, Mickey began deployment to the Vietnam Conflict. He was a proud member of the 11th Armored Calvary Division, serving as a radio dispatcher of helicopters and other duties of need. He returned back to country, the good ole USA, in April 1974. Following his military service, Mickey completed a two-year drilling fluids course at Nichols State University in Thibodaux, Louisiana. This was the beginning of his lifelong career in oil field work, rising all the way through the ranks from “rough neck” to drilling fluids engineer, before retiring in 2015. Mickey adored his family and, through the years, nothing brought him greater joy than watching his children and grandchildren play the sports they loved.
