RIP Mike.
Found the news article on the crash, happened in the Terre Haute, IN area. Semi driver out of canada was charged with Felony DUI.
So Sad, sh*t like this doesn't need to happen. I hope the rotten, drunken %$#! head rots in jail.

Tragic. I never was able to meet Mike but could tell from his posts he was a great person. So sorry for Mike's family. Another reminder that life is short. Enjoy and respect every day.

Terrible tragedy. His son's injuries will be life long. If you've ever survived a crash with someone who didn't, you understand.
Too sad.....

I talked to Mike Wednesday night when he and Aaron were on their way to this hunting trip.

We spoke about how high he set the bar with E-heads and how hard it was going to be to impress with "better" parts.

We spoke of arrangements for getting my new motor on the dyno.
Again with him facilitating and helping to make things happen for me.
Like he was always willing to do ......

I've never known anyone with more hustle than Mike ..... But he was always willing to take time to help others.

I really can't believe he's gone.

I missed out. Only met the Man once at Norwalk. Rob B introduced him to me. Mike didn't have much to say prolly cause Rob was doing all the talkin...No second chance.
RIP

My God, killed by a drunk driver of a semi. My deepest condolences to his family, his son and his friends. May he rest in peace. His poor son will need our prayers especially.

Just hard to believe. Mike was one of a kind, touched a lot of lives. Deepest sympathy to his family.
