Mickey Sharp Obituary

Mickey Gerald Sharp

It is with great sadness that we share with you the passing of our dear Mickey Gerald Sharp, who departed his earthly life Monday, June 10, 2024, at Lower Cape Fear LifeCare in Wilmington.

He was born March 15, 1960, in Bowling Green, the son of Harrison Sharp and Erma Garvin Sharp.

Left to cherish his memory is his wife of 30 years happily being together, Barbara Brinkley; sister, Beverly Nordyke (Michael); brothers, Teddy Sharp (Alecia), Larry Sharp (Susi), and Jerry Sharp (Lisa); stepson, Jason Brinkley (Jessica); many nieces, nephews, and loyal friends; and constant canine companion, Sophie.

He was preceded in death by his parents; sister, Beulah Jane Sharp; and brother, Terry Sharp.

Mickey retired from Corning, Inc. where he worked for many years and made many lifelong friends.

Mickey, with his friendly personality and gift to gab, loved life and lived his life to the fullest. He loved people, parties, cookouts, and family gatherings. Mickey was a fabulous cook, specializing in lasagna, Pig Pickin cakes, and canning vegetables from his garden. Woodworking was another thing Mickey enjoyed and was quite talented in.

Barbara and Mickey enjoyed taking many trips through the years. Most of all, Mickey loved "his Barbara" and all of his family.

Visitation will be 10 a.m. Friday, June 14, 2024, until the time of Mickey's funeral at 11 a.m. at Quinn McGowen Funeral Home Burgaw Chapel.

Interment will follow at Riverview Memorial Park.

Arrangements are being handled by Quinn-McGowen Funeral Home Burgaw Chapel.
