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 graduate of Covenant College and obtained dual master’s degrees in both Family and Marriage therapy from Richmont Graduate University. His passion for his work was only rivaled by his dedication to his wife, Taylor, his family, his friends, being the best Uncle Micah to his many nephews and those he so faithfully served in his practice.

His life epitomized his life verse, Micah 6:8, “and what does the LORD require of you 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 and son, always encouraging others to follow their dreams with the same passion he 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 eighth grade, a precursor of what was to come. His accomplishments on the field include setting the Covenant College strikeout record of thirteen batters versus Lagrange College, and being in three 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.

Micah was an active member of his community, generously giving his time to various organizations and ministries. He had a real love for constant learning, especially in his field of family, marriage, and sexual addiction therapy. He was achieving and highly motivated, earning several high level and specialty therapy certifications from around the country.
An avid outdoorsman, Micah enjoyed spending time in nature, landscaping anything at his house that didn’t move quickly enough, bow hunting, fishing, golfing, coaching little league and just being outdoors.

Micah is survived by his beloved wife, Taylor of Cumming, Georgia; his mother and father, Penny and Jerry Mabe of Cumming, Georgia; and his sister, Joy Mabe Guven and brother-in-law, Anthony (Tony) Guven of Milton, Georgia. Also, his nephews, Asher Guven, Ryan Dempsey, Noah Dempsey, and Weston Dempsey along with Brayden and Hudson Franklin. He was a loving husband, son, brother, and uncle.
