Sad News - One of our own has passed away.

I never met the guy, but did follow his build threads. Times like this are difficult for familes, my thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends network.

This is really sad. I never met Mike but i'm still shocked about it.

He was way too young to go out like this.

Wow, honestly a bit shocked... Got a chance to meet him at a dyno day last year, seemed like a great guy, and was always down to help out people (from what I saw from others project threads).

Seems lately people pass when its least expected. I also had found out the other day the former owner of Mavericks in roseville (The brother of the current owner, who is a close family friend), passed in a car accident.

RIP big guy.

Guys, we need to memorialize this weekend at the MAP proving grounds in some way for Michael.. It would mean alot to his family. Any pictures you have please tag Michael in them on facebook so his family can capture them. Also prelim information on the funeral services are looking like Thursday in Hastings. When we know for sure Scheides will post the information as it becomes official.

Thanks, Shawn

Damn, I am in Nebraska this week for work through Thursday :( Won't be able to make this...hopefully a decent amount of styler's make it out though to show our support. Also perhaps we possibly buy a flower arrangement or something for him with some of our donations?

[Kracka]

I'm not able to come up, but I'll definitely donate towards a nice arrangement.

Our condolences go out to his family and loved ones, he will truly be missed.
