Thanks Mike for being a friend when I needed it most.

Let me to you guys a total stranger can save a life and turn into a great friend. A while back when I was getting divorced and was out of work do to a on the job injury. I had a really bad case of dispersion sand was on the verge of suicide. So I setup a 50 gal to help take my mind off things. Well after a few weeks when the cycle was done I posted I was looking for a few montis to add to the tank. One of the replies was from Mike, Hey bro I got what ever u want for free come cruse by. PM me for details". So I pm'ed him explaining my situation that I couldn't drive due to knee injury. He said no problem bro what's your address I curse out after work tomorrow. So he came over with a few bags of frags, sps and montis. You know how reefers are we started bulls***ing and after hours of talking I had told him my life story. That one day helped me release so much stress I had it changed my life. So to this I owe my friend Mike my life.

Unless you knew mike u guys have no clue what a great guy and smart bada** mofo we lost. He thrived on being the best at every thing he did.

Mike will be missed by many and please send your prayers out for his wife and boys.

Really sad to have read this news. I didn't know "smalltime"...he sounded like a really cool guy. We're here today and just that faassssst...gone tomorrow (or today). Our days are numbered guys. I don't want to preach on here but it's important to know God....walk with Him daily.
