That is horrendous news. We still have people in my country who dismiss the virus as scaremongering. Rest in peace Michael - you were a good man.

Oh what a punch in the heart. Really hits me hard. I never personally knew "Mikey" but knew Gospel groups he recorded with, and his name would come up.

Damn, I have to say I am shocked. I only knew Mike through the forum, but I felt a camaraderie towards him as I do towards many of you here. I'll say a prayer for him and his family tonight.
More and more these days I'm reminded how fragile life is. |

Another gut-wrenching notification. Like Roy Peterman said, I too knew Mike from his days with Tammy when we did shows together. He sure was a great guy..!!
My prayers and deepest sympathies go out for Mike, his family and friends.

I also thought Mike was going to pull through per his posts. This invisible monster is so random and unfair. Paul Franklin’s analogy of it being a beast is correct.
I know Heaven will accept our dear friend with open arms. |

Terribly sad news. I had a personal message of appreciation from Mike after I posted on a subject and he was such a gentleman. Rest in peace.
