"Mickey" Crnkovic passed away peacefully on January 28, 2026, at the Northwest Louisiana Veterans Home in Bossier City, Louisiana. He was born on March 12, 1933, in Zwolle, Louisiana, to Ed Slavko and Frazine Ebarb Crnkovic. Mickey lived a life marked by service, sportsmanship, and deep devotion to family. A proud graduate of Zwolle High School, Mickey attended Northwestern State College for two years before being drafted into the U.S. Army during the Korean War. After serving his country for two years, he returned to Northwestern to complete his education. During his time there, he played basketball for two seasons, earning recognition as Team Captain, Most Valuable Player, and All-American Honorable Mention in his senior year. In 2004, he was honored with induction into the Northwestern Basketball Hall of Fame, a testament to his talent, leadership, and lifelong love of the game. Mickey dedicated his professional life to teaching and coaching at Florien High School, where he inspired generations of students in History, Civics, and Adaptive Physical Education. His commitment to his students extended well beyond academics; he encouraged them to work hard, believe in themselves, and carry integrity into everything they did. As a coach of both the boys' and girls' basketball teams, he built programs rooted in discipline, teamwork, and respect. His influence on the court and in the classroom left a lasting legacy in the Florien community. In retirement, Mickey embraced the outdoors - hunting, fishing, and tending to his beloved purple hull peas and watermelons. He had a gift for gathering family under the friendly pretense of helping with the harvest, always appearing with a watermelon tucked under his arm and a reminder to save the seeds. His playful spirit and clever tricks became legendary among his nieces and nephews, who remember him with deep affection, laughter, and stories that will be retold for years to come. Mickey was a man of honesty, generosity, and warmth. He cherished time spent with family at the home place, often grilling ribs or steaks and sharing stories that brought everyone a little closer. His presence was a source of joy and connection, a steady comfort to all who knew him. He is preceded in death by his parents and siblings: Steve, Joseph, Johnny, Frank, Pete, Helen Crnkovic Byers, and Lois Crnkovic Sava. He is survived by his sister, Josephine Crnkovic Jones, and his brother, Donald Crnkovic, and his wife, Linda, along with numerous nieces and nephews - and, of course, his favorite niece?

"God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be, So he put his arm around you and whispered "Come with me". We watched you suffer and saw you fade away, although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A Golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest, God broke our hearts to prove that he only takes the best. It's lonesome here without you, we miss you more each day, Life doesn't seem the same since you've gone away; When days are sad and lonely and everything goes wrong we seem to hear you whisper "Cheer up and carry on". Each time we see your picture, You seem to smile and say Don't cry, I'm in God's keeping, We'll meet again some day".
