I’m sorry to hear this. He was a great talent and I recall Austin speaking highly of him. Very sad news indeed.

[pmwasson]

He was always very generous with the complements. I'll miss him.

That's because he was always so busy working on stuff for others LOL

Trust me, you've seen plenty of his work. Everybody here, especially from the early days, probably has something he made for them.

True. The name stuck with because of the all the "Thanks to Hawkmike". I hope you can put together a collection of what he did. That would be fitting.

[Mikey]

My condolences to Mike's friends and family … Rest in Peace

I don't recall him showing off his own customs and work. I think that would be a great tribute display at the Meet.

He was always here in the custom section with a compliment. Very sad to lose a good guy.

My sympathies to Austin and the gang who knew him.

Just PM'ed you, Austin.

Ugh. I'm bummed by this - I'd gotten some stuff from him way back, and was amazed at the quality of work and attention to detail he provided. The man was an artist, no question.

My deepest sympathies and condolences to his friends and family. :(
