To Mike’s family, I’m so deeply sorry for your loss, I can’t begin to imagine how you are feeling.
Mike brought people together from all around the world who would never have met if it were not for his hard work, kindness, creativity and intelligence. He has truly left a mark on the world and the ripples he left will continue on in the pond indefinitely. I owe a big thank you to Mike for many of my current freindships, and business relationships.
Rest In Peace Mike.........

I give my deepest regards to the family and close friends of Mike. If it weren’t for Mike, I probably wouldn’t have the friends I have now in the Modular community. I am eternally grateful for him, and saddened by his passing.

Mike’s Muff Wiggler forum brought hundreds of people together. Though his passing at such a young age is tragic and sad, and he will be missed by many people, his influence will live on. I can only hope that this brings a bit of comfort to his family. My sincere condolences to his family and close friends.
