    Say it ain't so!!!:(:mad: Mike was one of the first people to welcome me here. I was planning to make it down to see his shop this summer. What a bummer....29 and gone way too soon. He was a great craftsman, and from what I've been told, an even better human being.

    What a heartbreaker. I'm shocked to hear the sad news. I too was hoping to get out to see his shop this summer and had just sent him an invite to a party I'm having at the end of the month. Condolences to friends and family.

    It doesn't happen often but i'm in total shock over this. I never met Mike face to face but we shard many Pm's. As a former shop owner doing fabrication work Mike and I had many conversations about running a business and sharing fabrication ideas. My son lives in the area and I had intentions of visiting him this summer when I was over that way. It will forever be my loss that I didn't get to meet him in person. He wasn't even half my age and a bright future was ahead of him. That adds to the sadness and my heart goes out to his family and friends. May he rest in peace.

    Too young, lots of talent. Sad to hear, thoughts with his family and friends.
     
  8. Oh My....

    I was one of his first customers... He whittled out my Stainless Steel exhaust flanges for the "Rocket Sled"...!

    God Speed Mike and prayers for his loved ones.

    Man, this is awful. He obviously had a lot of talent, and it showed in his contributions to the HAMB.

    So sad. My condolences to his family and friends.

    This is sad...RIP
     
  16. Dammit, he was a cool dude. I talked to him awhile ago and added him as a friend after we came to talk about a scammer Hamber. I almost made a house call for him and others back east to some low life in Paso Robles. Fortunately Ryan intervened and the scammer was made to deliver the goods paid for. I send my condolences as he was a great contributor and kept me cool somewhat during the ordeal above. GODSPEED.-Weeks

    Sorry for the loss. Cancer is a slow and painful way to go... for everybody involved. Watched my mother waste away with cancer for six years. For Mikes sake, I'm glad his suffering is over. RIP. Will the business continue?

    wow,I had no idea. I have talked with him several times and bought some stuff from him as well. Was a really decent guy and really sorry to hear about this. Did not know he was sick.
    What will happen with his shop? I was planning on getting his SBC mounts for a project I am doing,ect. Man,makes me sick as I had no idea as to how sick he was or that he was even sick-what a shame.

    R.I.P. Only knew him from HAMB, don't think I ever had the pleasure of meeting him personally, 29 is way too young to die. Condolences to his family and friends.
