MABELVALE – Mickey Don Banks of Mabelvale passed away peacefully at home on September 27, 2014. He was born April 6, 1942 in North Little Rock to the late J.T. Banks and Mildred Tucker Banks. He was a retired carpenter at the Arkansas State Hospital, an avid sportsman, and a Razorback fan. He was also an Army veteran. Nothing pleased him more than gathering his family to go dove hunting.

Mickey is survived by his loving wife of 28 years, Colleen Williams Banks. He is also survived by his brother, Bobby Banks (Connie) of North Little Rock; daughter, Donna Banks-Scroggins (David) of Cabot; son, Mark Banks (Brandy) of Mayflower; and daughter, Heather Clark (Kimo) of Mabelvale.
