Oh that ****ing sucks. Really bummed to hear it.

**Dartgod** · 05-10-2020, 09:54 PM

Damn, I just read about this on Facebook. RIP Mike.

Ok, this one stings. Peace

Son of a bitch.... RIP

Wow! Condolences to the family and friends. Way too young.

Thanks for the SoC movement.

Mike was such a fascinating guy.

His presence on social media was so aggressively positive, while aggressively open about the struggles he had been suffering through. Some of those struggles were personal demons, some of them were professional difficulties. But his attitude was almost always apocalyptically positive — “I am going to face these problems head on and I will slay each and every dragon I meet.”

He was so, so open. I was only a follower and not a close friend but I could always tell how NOT full of himself he was. “Yes, times are difficult. Yes, I will find a way to win and be happy. No, I am not perfect, and yes, I will always be a work in progress.”

That attitude was always so endearing, and so utterly him. I’m saddened by the idea of this outspoken, gregarious guy falling completely silent.

I’m sorry we lost him. He seemed a good man and I always cared for him.

RIP Flopnuts. Godspeed to his family.

Halfcan · 05-10-2020, 10:19 PM

Every encounter I ever had with him, whether on here, in person, or on Facebook was always positive. He had a great attitude and a wicked sense of humor. He was a loyal Chief fan and friend to many. RIP brother.

Man, that was not the news I needed to hear. Flop and I had a rather well publicized falling out on this board years back and I feel really bad we never squashed that beef. This shit always puts petty shit in to perspective and hopefully, if he can read this thread, he can know that I am sorry for saying the stuff I said about him and know that he had a heart of gold. Sigh. Truly heartbreaking news. RIP buddy, and if you're reading this somewhere, please know that I am sorry for being such a stubborn asshole.

Well crap.

Mike was for sure an authentic guy and you always sorta knew what he was going through whether it be good or a struggle. We became friends when I'd come out there for games and/or really during the first weight loss challenge like 2010. He lost a lot of weight, probably the most straight-up pounds. He was the kind of guy you just wanted to hug and punch in the arm cuz he was the kind of guy you could feel safe and be yourself around.

On a side note: Take this opportunity, if you know somebody who's going up and down, especially right now with the Covid lockup or shut down, reach out to them and check in. Just let them know you're thinking about them and see if you can help in any way. Because you never know when/if you'll be able to talk to them again.

Be safe folks, take care of each other. RIP Mike. it was good to know you.

It was very disappointing that he took the loss of his moderator position so personally that it all but ended his participation here and I think there was a lot of hard feelings about it. I really wish that could have been rectified somehow....but now it will never be.

Rest in peace big guy...you have been and always will be missed.
