Prayers to all. Many of you were very fortunate to be near him and know him better than I got to. A true loss to the community... God Bless you Mike.

Dammit
I hope he went as peacefully as possible. I'm proud to have known him.
Be in peace.
It's never easy when a friend passes away, I will certainly miss Mike. I am however very thankful that he is no longer in pain, no longer suffering. He fought the good fight and I pray that he is at peace now.
I really do not know how to express the deep hurt that I feel right now, a lot of people never saw the the side of Mike that I saw when he coaching my two young grandsons in safety on the range an the twinkle in his eyes,when would joke with them in his gruff ways.Alas I have lost another good friend too early.God speed and rest in peace my friend.
RIP Mike, you are missed.
Several months back Mike was in the hospital for a few days. I stayed one night with him so Triad and Ms. Kathy could go home. We talked a LOT. He came as close to breaking down as I ever saw him. I don't think he would mind me telling y'all how humbled and thankful he was for how much help, support and encouragement the forum members had been to him. He truly was in awe, not only for what we had done but he had a hard time with grasping WHY we had done it.
Jonas, you were and will continue to be Mike's right hand here. Please carry on as you see fit, knowing that Mike will be watching over your shoulder. When you need $ for the operation of the forum, speak out and we will pass the hat and take a collection.
He will be sorely missed by many. John Browning is holding a spot for you.
Wow, shocked and saddened. I think I'll get a 1911 and name it Rumbler.
