I was a classmate of Mick's at Northampton High School. I was so sad to hear of his untimely passing. I have only fond memories of Mick and based on the condolences left in his memory, it is obvious he became a wonderful man who was loved and respected by many people.
With sincere sympathy,

My deepest sympathies to the Fahringer Family and Mick's extended "family" at Goex. I considered both Mick and his father friends, without their support I could not have had the successes and opertunities that I have had shooting muzzle loaders. Mick and his family will be in my prayers and thoughts.

My deepest sympathy to the entire Fahringer family. Mick was a close friend and teammate of mine at Northampton High School. He was a fierce competitor and a talented athlete. The mention of his name brings a smile to my face. On behalf of the NHS Class of 1977 I offer condolences to your family. He will be greatly missed.

We were very honored to know Mick. He was a kind and fun-loving person. You could tell he loved life, but most of all he loved his family, especially his fiance and best friend, Sarah. We will miss Mick, and will keep him in our prayers. It is difficult to understand the passing of a loved one, but know that he is safe and at peace now. Our heartfelt sympathy to Sarah and Mick's family.

I feel privileged to have known a man like Mick Fahringer and I will miss him deeply. I cannot imagine the loss felt by his family and closest friends but pray that the Holy Spirit will lift their hearts. About the same age, Mick and I shared many similar interests and I looked forward to us growing old together at IME. His memory will be an inspiration.

I met Mick through my husband several years ago. In business him and I had our ups and downs. On a personal level he was a good friend and gave me great support when I lost my husband 6 years ago.
My Love and Prayers will be with his family. Everytime I think of John, so will Mick be in my thoughts.
God Bless the Fahringer family and his extended GOEX family.

I knew Mick when our kids played baseball together when they were younger. We coached All-Stars together and he was a great guy and a great father. My prayers go to his family.

Ellen & I have known Mick for many years. Mick was a wonderful man with a great sense of humor. Mick cared deeply for his family, Sarah and his business. It has only been a week ago that Mick shared his and Sarah's weeding plans with us. The love the two of them shared was obvious. We are deeply saddened by Mick's passing and our world will be much lonelier without him. May God bless Sarah and Mick's family.

I knew Mick since he was a young man and am deeply saddened by his passing. He was a good man that met you with a smile and a warm feeling. I met Mick when his father was the plant manager at Seiple and I lived next door to them him in a "Trojan" house. I will sorely miss Mick and pass my love and thoughts to his family and a special blessing to Sarah who my wife and I grew to love after spending time with Mick and her at the IME events.

I grew up next door Mick and his family in Treichlers PA up until I was in 6th grade; I was best friends with his brother Glen. His family will always hold a special place in my heart. I remember many hot Summer days playing wiffle ball. To his children, your Dad was a great guy even when we were kids. God bless all of you. May his light shine upon you during these very trying times

Chris and I would like to extend our deepest sympathy; we are so sorry for your loss. Mick touched the hearts of everyone he knew ... we will truly miss him being not only part of our IME family, but also part of our Ronay family as well. We had so many wonderful moments with he and Sarah, and the times we shared with them will always be fondly-remembered, love-filled memories. Mick and Sarah's love for each other was so obvious and so infectious. I'll always remember how happy Mick was when he shared with us, in his "impish-little way" his "plan" for their wedding next month.
Everyone who knew Mick loved him, and he will truly be missed.

Mick was a good man. I am very sorry to hear of his death. He coached my son Justin in baseball for 4 years and we had some great times. He will be missed. Austin and Keegan, you will be all right. Nobody should have to deal with this at such a young age, but, I promise, it will get better. He will live on in your memories. Sandy and Sarah, he loved you both, and you, too, will have nothing but good memories, as it should be. Take care and God bless all of you. Mark Smith
