RIP Filthy Mike
-
As a thought to memorialize or honor his contributions, would duplicating memorable posts of his or his final few fade pics of various pieces into a single Filthy thread make any sense?
Good thought and recommendation. This entire forum has been touched by @Filthy and you can find his love for IH and us all over the place. I can’t think of a better memorial of him than this place as a whole.

Absolutely gutted…
-
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.

Totally shocked
Will miss you Mike , RIP brother .
Always be in our Iron Memories ! -
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.

Such awful news and at a loss for words. RIP Mike.

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.

Man, I am just seeing this. Absolutely crushing.
Love you, Mike.

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
