Murfreesboro, Tenn.

I'm sure I'm not the best spokesman for this topic, but the few times I met Mike, he was a very warm, polite and funny guy to be around. It's very sad to hear this news.

if i ever had any problems getting into a show back in the day, mike would vouch for me. i remember him being very nice and kind and glad to help. his place is very very close to mine and thinking about seeing the police over there kind of makes me sick to my stomach.

and no offense superelk, but his children losing their dad is a million times more heartbreaking.

i'm a little eager to hear of his cause of death.

well obviously.
