Stephen Thayer Mickam
November 30, 1969 — February 24, 2023
Stephen Mickam, age 53, passed away on February 24, 2023. He was born on November 30, 1969 in Ft. Knox, KY. He is preceded in death by his mother, Mary Miller Thayer Mickam.
He is survived by his wife, Frances Faye Thompson; his father, John B. Mickam; mother-in-law Myrtle F. Thompson; brother Robert W. Mickam; his aunts Ellen Vahan, Elizabeth Harrison (Ian), Carolyn Thayer Codinha (Bill), and uncles Edward Thayer (Brenda) and Kourtland Koch (Patti); cousins Katie Vahan (Rocker), Johnathan Vahan, Edward Thayer III (Sally), James Thayer (Lauren), Carolyn Codinha, and Alessandra Codinha (Jason).
He also leaves behind countless friends and loved ones, including his best friend and Very Good Boy, Pickles.
Stephen graduated first from Park Tudor School in Indianapolis, IN and then from Muskingum College in New Concord, OH. It was there that he began his life-long friendships with his beloved Kappa Sigma brothers. He cherished the memories he made with them, and they were a source of strength and support for him during difficult times.
In 2004, he graduated from the Gemological Institute of American in Carlsbad, CA as a Graduate Jeweler Gemologist. In that program, he found his passion that set him on the career path that he truly loved – working in the jewelry industry. That career resulted in so many lasting friendships and strong professional relationships. It was a point of pride and love for him that he had worked with so many of the same people together in different settings. For him, that was a sign that he had surrounded himself with good people who loved and appreciated one another.
A gathering of family and friends will be held from 11am to 1pm, Friday, March 10th, 2023 at Newcomer Funeral Home, NW Chapel, 10051 Brewster Lane, Powell, OH 43065, where a memorial service will begin at 1pm.
