Mulkey died December 21, 2018 at the age of 65. He was buried today (Wednesday, January 9, 2019) at the Arkansas State Veterans Cemetery in North Little Rock.

Mulkey served in Vietnam and was an advocate for veterans issues. He was a co-founder of the Alexander American Legion Post and its first Commander. The Post was founded in 2018.

In November Mulkey attended the Alexander city council’s monthly meeting to present council members and the mayor with certificates of appreciation to express the Alexander American Legion’s gratitude. City officials are allowing Post members to use the old town hall to hold their meetings. In October they were also allowed to have their chili cook-off fund raiser in the city park rent-free.
