Mickey Joe Cargill

September 13, 1952 — January 19, 2019

Mickey Joe Cargill, 66, of Rockford, IL passed away suddenly on January 19, 2019. He was born on September 13, 1952 to James W. and Barbara (Fitzgerald) Cargill in Pekin, Illinois. He graduated high school in Franklin Grove, IL. He loved riding horses with his family and helping with the family farming. Farm related jobs just seemed to find him. He was also a semi driver.

Hobbies and interests from the past worked into a business. The garage became a place to buy, sell and trade many things from auctions and sales. Joe met many nice people and made new friends who would stop regularly. He was blessed to have lived with neighbors who cared and looked out for each other. Rescue dogs, Little Girl and Jr were great help!

He is survived by four children and five grandchildren; Brandie (Jimmie) Uselman of Salem, IL; Ryan (Erin Tripp) Cargill and daughter, Leaf River; twin son, Jacob, friend and three sons of El Reno, OK; twin daughter, Kristie, friend and son of Dubuque, IA; mother, Barbara Cargill of Ashton, IL; brother Jim (Sandie) Cargill of Franklin Grove, IL; nephew, David Cargill and niece, Ashley Prior; a companion of many years, Rose Aase, of Rockford, IL; as well as several cousins.

Preceded in death by his father; his grandparents on both sides of his family; and also, first nephew, Justin Cargill.

Visitation will be held Saturday, March 9, 2019 from 2:00 – 4:00 P.M. at Advantage Funeral Home, 7000 W. State St. Rockford, IL 61102. A luncheon will also take place at the same facility starting at 3:00 P.M. Cremains to be buried in Ashton, IL at a later date.
