How terrible. Prayers go out to his family.
Mike was a great dude.

I meant to ask where he was at the ECC. With all that went on I forgot. Rest in peace Mike. I shot with Mike several times also.

I am so sorry to hear this - I spoke with Mike several times. He was a nice fellow ! We have lost far too many friends over the past couple of years. Rest easy Mike !

Mike was indeed a leader in the silhouette discipline and so very knowledgeable of the firearms in our sport. Always a friendly guy and willing to share. We've lost a great guy.

I bought a 414 Supermag barrel from Mike and he shipped my ammo home from the Internationals in Ohio once for me. I think he even picked up part of the shipping without saying a word.
He was a very nice man and a helpful and kind shooter, Mike will be missed.

Left far too soon.

Thanks Craig. Found out a few things about Mike that I didn't know.

Thank you tonedaddy for posting the obituary. Sorry to hear of Mikes passing. Unfortunately I only had the opportunity to speak to Mike one time. As seen on the forum he was very well respected and many people valued his friendship. Prayers to Mikes family during this difficult time.
Rest in peace, Mike.
