Angie, Mason, Taylor and Klark,

I just learned from Brian of Mike's passing and we are in disbelief. We have such good memories of Mike, from painting Brian's BMX helmet (which he still has) to all the races we all attended to support our kids. He was so creative....using the old BMX bikes and hanging them in your kitchen as pot holders. We also looked forward to the new paint job on his work truck. He will be missed. Our sincerest sympathies to your family!
