My husband died yesterday on Ortega - Page 4

Dawn and Mike are terrific people and have done a lot to help the motorcycling community though club participation and helping riders in general. I only met Mike on one occasion but quickly got the impression that he was an awesome guy, and he was a great rider. This is truly a great loss.

Let us know if there is anything we can do to help Dawn. Your family is in my prayers. I will try to make the reception on Sunday.

Dawn I'm so sorry for your loss.

RIP Mike.

May Mike be enjoying an endless free trackday at the racetrack in the sky.

Dawn,

Just as you and Mike were there for Mitch a few months ago, if there is ANYTHING that I can do, please don't hesitate to ask.

Godspeed Mike, it was a pleasure to have known you for the brief period we did.

powerranger · 04-24-2007, 04:28 PM

I don't know what to say, There's nothing I can say to make you feel better. You don't even know me, but I consider all riders as part of my family. Every time this happens (I am on Ortega ALOT) my heart breaks. Literally I break down in my helmet when I see a rider down and nothing can be done for him. Just know you're not alone, as you can tell from all the support. I will pray for time to go by faster as it may ease your pain a little. Also I will pray for your kids. I don't know what else to ask from God for them, except to somehow ease their pain. Hang in there.

Geoff.

Dawn, thanks for inviting us to celebrate Mike's life with you & your family. The service was well put together & truly moving. My wife & I want you to know we're here for you & hope you can make it out to the track as our guest.

The service was great Dawn.

I only wish that God loaned him to me for more than one ride.

Gwyneth · 04-30-2007, 10:44 AM

It was a beautiful service Dawn, and it was very touching to see so many people there whose lives Mike touched. It truly was a celebration of Mike's (Mick's) life.

spewmonkey · 04-30-2007, 02:55 PM

Beautiful service and celebration Dawn.
We were lucky for the time that he was loaned to us, he impressed me with his heroism on more than one occasion.
Looking forward to riding with him again.......it's going to be huge!!
