My heart dropped when I read this message. What an enormous loss of a great guy and noteworthy contributor to the Crossfire family. He will be sorely missed. My condolences to the family and friends.

I am stunned...what a loss. He was a great guy to talk to, and always brought something new and exciting to every conversation. He will be missed greatly.

This was shocking horrible news. I had to read it twice to understand it. It's shocking how unexpectedly life can change. Mike's old differential is still sitting on my workbench...
Here is a prayer for peace for Mike's family.

closer9 is probably right, internet bots could grab Tiffany's contact info. You should probably remove it.

i would like to send something to the funeral, should we all send it together from his crossfire friends?

it doesnt really matter if its flowers, a cookie basket, whatever, just soemthign to show that we cared enough to do so. i think a 5-10 donation from evevryine would add up quickly into something nice to be delivered there.

Do not know what to say. Mike helped me and pointed me in the right direction on several occasions. Many thanks go out to him for the help and great products he crafted for many members of the forums. The boards will not be the same without his posts and that lovely blue SRT in his signature. This is truly sad and my thoughts go out to his family.

I haven't actually met anyone from the forum..
But from his post and willingness to help a fellow member out, I would have gladly shaken his hand in friendship.
Ironically we share the same Nov. 4 birthday. How could we not have gotten along..
Would be more than happy to chip in and let the family know he was a respected member here and will be missed.
Just give me details when it gets put together.

Rob, just let us know, I would be happy to help, and think something like this for his family would be pretty neat.

I sent Tiffany a note after gettign her email saying that Mike meant a lot to many of us here, and even though many of us never met Mike, he made an impact on many of our lives that he touched. I think getting something like this from our group would be a classy way to show her what he meant to us...

I heard it this morning and I am also gutted and speechless. May he rest in peace.
I will remember him as the magician and the guy who supported me going from a N/A to a SRT6.
