Mike and I exchanged PM's a number of times over the years we have been on the forum. At one point he was considering moving to Ft. Worth for a new job and I was trying to help him out and hoping he would. But in the end he didn't want to leave OR.

Our community has lost a great friend. RIP Mike

 

Travel Well Mike....

I had the great honor and opportunity to meet you, ride with you, and be your friend.

Go be with your wife and walk with her in eternity……

So very sad and tragic. Mike was a huge part of this community and will be deeply missed. Condolences to his entire family. In an odd way it's especially nice that several of us have suspension components on our cars that he created, so we'll all carry his touch with us every time we drive our cars. Godspeed, Mike.

 

Always a sad day when one who has touched so many passes. As he has now joined his wife, I hope they have an eternity of fond memories of all those dear to them when they were living.

 

Mike will be missed. I anonymously sent him the painted headlight ebrows he put on his car years ago. So sorry for the family. Squirrel Crusher

 

Mike will be missed. RIP my friend and prayers to your family.

 

Thanks to Mike for your great support of our community and thanks to your family for letting you do it. You will be missed.

 

Mike you were my friend and I will miss you...RIP....

Mike and I shared our interests in guns and cars. Always, always positive and always willing to lend a hand... We lost a good one...

 

I had talked with Mike and worked with him on my suspension issues, Man.... what a great guy. Honest, true to his word, always positive, made friends with everyone, talented, and knowledgable.

 

Visiting Mike at Woodburn Dragstrip was the trip I never got to make. Thanks for all the fun we had bench racing in that great DA you had. RIP Mike you were a big impact on a small community.
