November 4, 1954 – March 7, 2026

Mickey Cleveland Fountain, 71, of Trinity, Texas, passed away on March 7, 2026, in Friendswood, Texas. He was born on November 4, 1954, in Vidor, Texas, to Floyd Cleveland and Johnnie Elowease Fountain. Mickey was deeply devoted to his family, faith, and church, and was known for the lasting impact he made on those around him. He had a lifelong love of bluegrass music and enjoyed playing and teaching others to play stringed instruments. He also enjoyed fishing, hunting, and horseback riding.

Mickey attended Warren High School, graduated from Iron Working School, and worked for many years as an iron worker. His career included offshore work, carpentry, and other skilled labor before he began an 18-year career with the Texas Department of Corrections. He later answered God’s calling to ministry and served as Music Minister and Deacon at Carlisle Baptist Church before becoming pastor of First Baptist Church of Point Blank for 19 years. Known for his joyful spirit, Mickey never missed an opportunity to tell a good joke in his sermons, reminding everyone that faith and laughter go hand in hand.

On November 2, 1973, he married Josephine Marie Wise, with whom he shared a devoted and loving marriage of 52 years. There is no doubt that they were true soul mates from the very beginning. Mickey was a devoted father who led his children with faith, love, and a steady example of service, was deeply proud of the families they have built, and was affectionately known as “Old Fart” by those who loved him most – his children and grandchildren.

He is survived by his wife, Josephine Marie Fountain; his son, Mickey Cleveland Fountain Jr., wife Meg; and his daughter, Lorrie Danielle Jones. He is also survived by his grandchildren, Zachary, Gabriel, Elizabeth, and JT Terrell, and Kelsey Brown, Julia Lowery, Brianna Fountain, Alice and Barbara Calkins; his great-grandchildren, Noah and Violette Terrell, Levi and Stella Terrell, and Esther Brown; and his siblings, Kelly Fountain and Billy Fountain. He was preceded in death by his parents, Floyd Cleveland and Johnnie Elowease Fountain and many loved ones who welcomed him home.
