Inna Lillaahi Wa Inna Ilayhi Raji’oun.
May Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) in his mercy, grant him rest, may his grave be a part of Jannatul Firdaus and an abode of light. May Allah make him pass successfully in all the stages of the life after death. Ameen.
The precious gift that Mike gave us in the form of the Muffwiggler community will continue to honour his name and legacy. We are deeply indebted to him for providing a wonderful community for so many like minded souls. May you rest in peace Mike, you will never be forgotten.

Mike showed us all that being selfless and loving can change the world in immeasurable ways. His pursuit and success in creating true community is incredibly inspiring and should give us all hope for our future. Much love and respect. RIP
Thank you Mike for being a friend and starting the forum it allowed me to meet a majority of my friends today. You brought a bunch of us weridos together from around the world that wouldve never met otherwise. Im also glad I was able to tell you how thankful I was for the forum and how it helped me when I found out I had a brain tumour and its recurrence 3 years later. It was the happiest time in the hospital when we got time in the computer room I went to two websites matrixsynth and muffwiggler it brought me such joy in a dark time and I was so thankful I was able to tell you that and watch your reaction to my story. Thank you again, may you rest in peace. Pm'd for maths.
