So sorry to hear this. Mike was such a standout talent at every show. He favored his GFI and played in the demo room in St Louis ISGC for years. He also performed many of the opening ceremony functions there. A monster of a player and fine singer. Mike was a Christian and preacher with a strong faith. RIP Mike. God bless his family and friends.

Very sad news, Mike was as gifted as they come. On stage of thousands or in a demo room, one on one he had the ability to make you feel special and touched many with his music and his personal faith. Well done faithful servant, we’ll see you in the sweet bye and bye. Prayers for Mike’s family.
