Bode, to me, will be remembered as a bench-press fanatic and wrestler-a devoted connoisseur of all music, especially metal, with an intense passion for every riff and lyric. A natural storyteller, writer, and painter, he was a truly creative soul-a critic and philosopher with a sharp eye on the media and a deep curiosity for what makes life meaningful.
He was always honest, trusting, and caring. He put others before himself without hesitation. His strength was undeniable, but it was the depth of his heart that truly defined him. I´ll never forget how, when we´d raise a glass, he always preferred to give the toast like a Viking.
God bless you, Mike. See you in Valhalla. Skulls up forever.
