      I’m new to the forum, but know the reverence with which [mention]Filthy [/mention] was held. I can’t process the effect this news has had on me, so I can only send love to those that knew him better than I. RIP.

        Never met him but read many, many of his posts on the Forum. I admired his passion and shared some of his tastes in music. He was a legend. Awful news.

          This is heartbreaking. I can't count the number of conversations I had with him here on the forum. Such a thoughtful and passionate person. I hope he found his peace.

          Your Denim may have been faded but our memory of you will not be.

          RIP Mike

            I only had a couple of interactions with Mike, but remember fondly a time where he articulated so beautifully how his love for IH and denim kept him going in dark times, a reason to get up and get dressed so to speak…

            I really related to his way of thinking,  truly a stalwart of this forum.

            Rest easy, Filthy.

                Mike and I had a lot in common and often facetimed over last spring and summer just to chat about denim, relationships, and music. Really easy to talk to, and I saw him as a cool older brother that I never had. He sent me an IHT-1600 for an early wedding present that I love and now will see it on a different level. It was super nice to connect with him beyond just at a denim-related level. I have not communicated with him since late last year, as I thought he needed some space and a break from social media. If anyone can PM me with details about this, I would greatly appreciate it.

                Really bummed about this.

                  This is awful news, and Mike will be sorely missed on this forum. Sending love to all those here who were close with him.

                        @Giles:

                        He will be wearing a pair of his jeans and his favorite overalls will be on display.

                        This is so fucking sad man but I'm sure it is what he wanted to wear for his final fit.

                          I know we are just acquaintances on the forum.  I conversed with him in March 2021 when he opened up.  He is a good soul.  RIP, my friend.

                                Sooo Saaaadddd to learn this.

                                I own two IH overalls thanks to Filthy’s super enthusiastic push for them.

                                Thank you buddy, you will be heavily missed by us. R.I.P

                                The journey is the objective.

                                    This so sad and although not knowing him in person I’m speechless.

                                    Rest in peace Mike!

                                      Absolutely tragic. Hate to hear that we've lost someone who was such a unique and interesting soul and an inspiration for others.
