Mickey Harlan Heiple, 75, Petersburg

Mickey Harland Heiple, 75, formerly of Petersburg, passed away on November 13, 2023, in Evansville.

He was born July 24, 1948, to Isaac and Madge (Disney) Heiple in Washington, Ind.

Mick graduated from Petersburg High School Class of 1966. He worked for many years as a conductor for the Conrail Railroad. He was a proud member of the Petersburg Moose Lodge #1617, the Petersburg VFW Post #3587, and the Elks Lodge.

Mick lived life to the fullest. He was always on the go “green light” to his many adventures: on his boat at Dale Hollow, his motorcycle rides, or touring the nation in his RV. He was a collector of experiences and stories often shared around a campfire.

He had that million-dollar smile that won the hearts of many. When you stop by for a visit, sit down and tell him a story, he will be listening.

He will be deeply missed by all who know him. 

Mick is survived by his sons, Mark (Jyoti) Heiple and Jeff (Debbie) Byrd; daughter, Kelly (Glen) Gill; grandchildren, Jake Byrd, Candice Gill, Grace Gill, Faith Gill, Kareena Heiple, and Maya Heiple; special friend, Judy Alexander; and several nieces and nephews.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Isaac and Madge Heiple; brothers, Gary Heiple and Bill Heiple; and a sister, Bev Cockerham.

Services for Mick will take place at 1 p.m. EST on Thursday, November 16, at Harris Funeral Home in Petersburg with visitation from 10 a.m. EST to service time. Burial will follow at Walnut Hills Cemetery in Petersburg.

The family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations please be made to the Walnut Hills Cemetery or the Cancer Research Institute and may be mailed to PO Box 217 Petersburg, IN 47567.

Harris Funeral Home is entrusted with care.
