Mick was born 2/3/1954 in Portland, the son of Marvin Dack Sr. and Betty Jane White.

Mick was an entrepreneur, artisan, botanist, and nature enthusiast. He found solace in being in the woods. He loved people, plants and poetry. He was known in his community for his knowledge of plant species, making beautiful walking sticks, and writing poetry.

Mick owned and ran a floral business, Dack's Flora and Fauna. He also did landscaping and was a chef at the Portland Hilton.

Mick especially loved writing poetry and would write poems spontaneously for those he cared about. He also loved drawing the Mt. Hood wilderness, which was a very important part of his life. He was a founding member of Poets on the Hood, a grassroots poetry organization.

Mick was a member of The Hilltop Church in Oregon City and Oregon International Church in West Lynn. He was able to connect with God by being at one with nature.

Mick is survived by two beautiful daughters, Kate Sparks and Abigail Dack; and by his loving wife Violet Mashingaidze; Sister Kris Dack, Brother-in-Law Gregg Ramona; Niece Elizabeth Huddleston, and Nephews Brett and Ryan Ramona.
