Announcement: Mike2020learnin

I am not sure if this is the correct section, but seeing as I met Mike here, this is where I feel this post should be.

As of March 11, 2009... forum volunteer/helper mikelearnin2020 has officially left us. A while ago, I came to these forums requesting help regarding a virus. Mike eagerly lent me a hand through these forums and MSN. We spoke to eachother for long periods of time MSN while waiting for my recovery disks to arrive, and though we only met eachother for a week, we became great friends.

A little more than a month ago, Mike met a 6 man car pile-up while driving, and received heavy injuries, but he survived. He was hospitalized for weeks before he was released. While recovering at home, we spoke very little but Mike messaged me telling me what was going on and how he was doing. I was relieved that Mike was doing okay, but yet again he disappears. His girlfriend Carrie messaged me and let me know that Mike had a very, very high fever because of medicine prescribed by his doctor which he was allergic to.

Carrie told me he was doing okay, and a week or so later, Mike messaged me telling me he was doing okay. Still in the hospital and not allowed to be near a computer on Carrie's orders. I was once again relieved. Again Mike disappears and is not heard from.

Yesterday, March 19, 2009, Carrie replied to my message where I asked how Mike was doing. I wish she had not. Carrie informed me that Mike has left us on March 11, 2009.

Mike's last activity was: 01-28-2009 12:26 PM
Even heavily injured, he returned to these forums to continue helping people.

I'm making this thread to tell everybody, because Carrie wanted people to know, as do I. I would like to pay my respects to Mike, a great helper, and a great friend. I only wish I could have met Mike earlier and shared more laughs with him.

Let's all wish that Mike rests in peace where ever he goes.

I always feel sad when i hear of motor vehicle accidents. I have lost a friend this way and i know it is extremely hard on the family & friends. It is such a senseless death.
All the best to the family

My sincerest Condolences to his Mike's friends and family. We don't know why bad things happen to good people, but that does happen and this is the case here. Mike's contribution to our forum is to be honored and we should be thankful for having the privilege of serving with Mike on the forum.

I can remember helping Mike when he first came to TSF. He was truly a kind soul and an asset to the forum. He will be missed by many.

My deepest regrets and heartfelt condolences go out to his family and all those who knew and loved him.
