Michael Mees Obituary

Michael Ray Mees

FRANKFORT: Age 70, won the biggest race of all on July 18 with God waiving the checkered flag. Heaven, what a winner's circle! Mike was blessed to be at his daughter's home in Key Largo, Florida where sunsets gave him so much joy and peace. The family will host a celebration of Mike's life in Frankfort, Ohio at a later date.

Barb, Randy just sent me an e-mail. I am very distraught and tearing up just thinking of this. Mike was my mentor and friend like no other. My Mom passed in April at 90 with dementia. Got hints that this what Mike had from Bruce. Wish we could have reconnected as we have our Indy Car Project and just ran at the Speedway. Mike would be so proud that we finally made it there. Mike lived a full life and achieved about all you could in Road Racing. The help he and your Family extended to me was above and beyond. Mike was the older brother I was glad to have. Much too young. You all will be in my thoughts and prayers.
