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.
