elkaholic Report post Posted June 30, 2020 Deepest regards to the family and freinds of this awesome friend. Sadly be missed! I first met Mike on a elk hunt on navajo depot . He had an antelope tag. We've been freinds ever since. Condolences to the family! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nw07heavy Report post Posted June 30, 2020 10 hours ago, wildwoody said: WTF, just talk to him , he was getting his hip transplant, was going to play with the kids again. Wow, and all the crap he used to get for the wounded warriors tags from people on here. Praying for the family. Why Mike, Godspeed brother. P.S. I just checked the prayer forum on CWT, just to see that Mike responded to our back surgery back and forth information, only to see that his last post to me was last night at 02:14. Very sadly, I was not able to respond to him. Just a poignant reminder of how quickly any one of us can pass, and how precious every second of life is, being with family and friends, seeing every sunrise and sunset. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yotebuster Report post Posted June 30, 2020 Wow. That’s really tragic. Mike sold me my first set of swaro 15’s. We talked for a couple hours in the Sportsmans warehouse parking lot off I-17. I didn’t know a coues deer from a jack rabbit at the time as I had just moved to AZ from ND. He texted me several times throughout that first year I lived here with hints and ideas on how and where to find deer and pigs. Really a nice guy. I know a lot of a55holes and they seem to live forever, but nice guys like Mike always seem to be the ones that go tragically. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MT_Sourdough Report post Posted June 30, 2020 He payed the ultimate sacrifice for our beloved country. My memory of him will be one held in honor and dignity. Now, there will be no more pain and no more surgeries and he gets to scout out the back hills of heaven before us. Prayers for his family. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted June 30, 2020 It was no secret, Mike and I didn't like each other. However, no one, especially someone who served our country deserves to go that way. I wish the best for his wife and children. 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
