@Giles do you know or can you find out if there’s a way to make a donation in his name?
Heya, Matt! There was a note about that at the end of his obituary:
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the American Heart Association, 444 Liberty Ave., #1300, Pgh., PA 15222 or www.heart.org.

Any chance of anything going to the care of Pickles?
This definitely crossed my mind — would love to know she's being taken care of, would happily donate to help out.

From what I understand, his mom and him lived together and he was taking care of her along with Pickles. I would guess his mom is taking care of Pickles but maybe his sister is instead?

I'm deeply saddened by this news. It doesn't feel right or fair.
I'm struck by a desire to honor and remember this man. I look forward to hearing more about how we the forum can contribute to his legacy.

Wow…just saw this sad news. So sorry to hear about this.....Mike truly was a kind person and was a fixture on this forum. He was definitely passionate about Iron Heart, specifically anything 25oz if I recall correctly, and he truly truly was kind, generous, and beyond polite during any and every correspondence I ever had with him on the forum. I think everyone can agree on that.
Condolences to the family, you're in our thoughts and prayers. RIP Filthy.

If i'm not wrong i think his cat Pickles died months ago.. I remember few stories on his Instagram where he said his cat was sick as fuck eating a toxic plant or something, days later (in June) he was pretty sad and commented on my cat's instagram posts that I had no idea how much he wanted to pet my cats
I didn't know Mike a lot but he was a great dude for sure, reading his posts and feeling his passion for denim was very motivating, i got my bib thanks to him like a lot of members here following the evolution of his bib, he will be missed and i feel like i've lost a buddy even if i only know him through his posts… RIP Mike -
Yes i think you are right, my memory doesn't go very far sorry ^^

Nice

I’m pretty sure his other cat was the one that passed. Luna? She was a tortie stray that he also really loved.

Yes, and his obituary mentioned "Michael is also survived by his precious pet kitty, Pickles"

Like everyone else on this forum I was sad to read this news. Mike was the inspiration for me to get the bibs because of all his great posts. Many others did the same. I never had the pleasure of meeting him, but we had a couple private message exchanges and some back and forth on the forum and he was always such a friendly and helpful guy. We weren’t close and he probably had many interactions like he did with me. It doesn’t matter how well I knew him, he will be missed and it’s just plain sad when someone passes away too early. When I put the bibs on to shovel the snow this week I’ll be thinking of him.
