Micah's obituary
Micah Stanford Mabe, a cherished husband, son, and friend, passed away on
November 24, 2024, in Cumming, Georgia, at the age of 32. Micah was known for his
dedication to his wife, his family, his therapy clients, his friends, and his community,
leaving behind a legacy of passion, love, and kindness. Anyone who knew Micah knew
he had a BIG heart and an incredible zest for life.
Micah's life and career was marked by his love of Jesus and commitment to helping
others with their lives. He was a respected figure in his field, admired for his leadership
and the positive impact he had on those he served and all those around him. He was a

Micah to his many nephews and those he so faithfully served in his practice.

but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?”
In 2019, Micah married Taylor, his "Texas girl”, the love of his life, with whom he shared
many joyful years. They shared being VERY adventurous, a love for US and global
travel and including sky diving and paragliding in Switzerland. Routine for them but a
source of MAJOR consternation to his mother, Penny! Micah was a devoted husband

demonstrated in his own life.
He was well known in Georgia and Tennessee for his baseball pitching prowess and a
wicked changeup. His senior year at Lambert High in Suwanee he was selected as
Pitcher of the Year for Georgia in Conference 7-A. He holds the first No-Hitter for
Perimeter School in the 8th grade, a precursor of what was to come. His
accomplishments on the field include setting the Covenant College strikeout record of
13 batters versus Lagrange College, and being in 3 Georgia State Baseball
Championships, one at Wesleyan High School and two with Lambert High. His first year
at the brand new Lambert High, there were no seniors, a real distinction. He also made
the All-Academic team while at Covenant College.
