Mike Nixon's family needs our help! UPDATED with address and PayPal
 

Mike went in for a routine surgery, once opened up they found he had stage IV colon cancer, and that it had spread to his lungs. There were no indications or anything out of the ordinary, until the surgery.

Mike is in the hospital, Ball Memorial, I'll work on an address.

They are already working on hospice for Mike, and the Doctors are giving him less than two months... :(

Mike has spent 17+ years here on PY helping anyone he could with tech answers and performing his moderator duties. He's also spent a considerable amount of time with the POCI over the past few years as well, now its time for us to give back and help out a Pontiac Brother in his time of need.

Mike has three young sons and no life insurance and is worried about leaving his kids in debt with his funeral expenses. I'll post an address tomorrow and see if there is a PayPal account to make things easier to help Mikes kids. Mike has been one of my best friends for the past 20 years, I'm shocked, saddened with a heavy heart and at a loss for words so please excuse me if this doesn't make any sense.

Please, give what you can, everything helps.

Thank you!

Mike, we love you Brother!

Sad to hear this. So much going on here with other members, this scares the hell out of me. Everybody needs to go see the doctor no matter how you feel.

Oh good Lord. I hate to hear this David.
By all means post a account up.
He and family are in my prayers..

David, I am so very, very sorry to read this news.
Please let people know where checks can be sent in case PayPal isn't an option.

This hurts. I don't know what else to say right now.

Very,very sad news indeed. I don`t know Mike, except from his presence here on PY, but he was always very helpful and never condecending to anyone that I saw. I will say a prayer for him and his family.

****! Seriously?

I'm at a loss for words! Prayers sent hoping for a miracle here as in all cases here but losing faith they happen any more.

Prayers sent for Mike and his family. I'm making my colonoscopy appointment Monday. Let us know when the PayPal information is available.

Just heartbreaking. When it happens to us older fellows sad but we know our time is getting closer. Mike is obviously a younger man with young children. Paypal or address, I would like to send a donation.

Whoa! Unbelievable.

I just went and saw him recently. Seemed as normal as he gets.

We are praying for you and yours buddy!

This news flattened my heart when I heard it. We are all taking it one day at a time. I know Mike will put up a good fight.

Oh my Lord, this is such sad news. Praying for a miracle! Set up that PayPal acount, I'm in.

Prayer made for Mike and family.

Prayers sent to the Nixon family from our family. If there is any possibility for a miracle, Mike deserves it.

David, Very sorry to hear this and hope things aren't as bad as it sounds!

Before my surgery; they gave me three weeks. My doctor opened me up and freaked out; but he went at it. I was in surgery three times as long as normal with him trying to get everything he could with the surgery.

I sure hope Mike's doctors are wrong and he can limp along like me.

Damn this just plain sucks! Mike is a class act. Prayers sent from me and my family. :(:mad:

Damn Mike! I just don't know what to say. :( We're pulling for you, buddy.

My first time meeting Mike - he became one of my favorites. He helped me go to look at a Firebird up in nowhere Indiana. Gave me relationship advice which led to Rob and I finally getting hitched... he's a great guy. Here's his mug shot... and one of me with Tray when we went up to see that Firebird...

I'm speechless, :eek: and saddened by this news. :( My thoughts and prayers are with Mike and his Family.

He gave a whole another meaning to......... Sticky Bunns :) Hang on Mike, fight the good fight, miracles do happen. Anything Mike, Miranda, or I can do, please do not hesitate to contact us or have a family member contact us.....
