Oh my !! What a sad and surprising loss.
After Mike's last car wreck story, I though he was invincible.
My deepest condolences to his family. He will be missed.

if you will. Did we leave a lasting effect? Almost always no, except with the love and caring we put into raising and loving and supporting our
children.
Don Jimmy Smith has spent his time alive creating, by his warm nature and giving spirit, a wonderful family that remembers him with great pleasure.
He has not passed on to another plateau. He's alive on earth in the minds and memories of his many family members and friends.
Thank you Sara. |

Perhaps family used Mike's member log-on... or perhaps the details from Beach Bob to Phil to 4baja are mixed... but what I'm hoping is.... the story
/ report is all my imagination and next time I log on, more of Mike's words will be here.

Its all just stuff and some numbers.

Many, including myself, are seeking out and desiring further confirmation.
I hope this to be a "reports of my demise are greatly exaggerated" situation.
Please contact me privately if necessary.
Thank you,

This is very sad news indeed. We only met Mike once but it was a time I will never forget. You immediately got the feeling that you knew him a long
time and he was such a caring individual. Everyone enjoyed is inspirational writings that always came from the heart. My deepest sympathy to his
family. May he rest in peace.

Great Guy,
Either way, whether he is still here or not I pray that the Lord has recieved Mike in His Glory. I met Mike a few years back in BOLA while
having a pot-luck of sorts with David K, Travel Pearl, Doc, Frank and his wife and my pal Juan Ornelas. He was enjoying a dish I made called
"Trocitos de Puerco con Tomatillo" (Fried Pork shoulders chunks with tomatillo sauce) and refried beans. I was taken by surprise as he just enjoyed
eating the chile and never once complained about the heat but was just enjoying the Mexican flavor and just smiling all through the whole ordeal. I
know there was a few more people in his party but I can't remember their names.
Nice folks to hang around with. My deepest sympathies and please recieve blessing in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus, Christ.
God be with you all,
Alex L

Never met the man in the flesh, but certainly feel I had from his eloquent writings. A loss to all who knew and "knew" him. My condolences to his
family.

============================================================
His last post was THURSDAY afternoon, Nov. 2...
According to the top of this thread: Beach Bob reported to 4baja that Mike passed away TUESDAY (Oct. 31) in San Quintin....
I will hold out some hope until we have another confirmation... Mike emailed me on Oct. 22 that he had too many things going on to attend Viva Baja
Cactus (Nov. 4), but invited us to stay with them after the Baja 1000.
Upon getting a phone call from a concerned Nomad at noon today, I made calls to some people who would most likely know... and to those I reached, they
didn't hear any bad news.
Let's pray for a healthy Mike to share more stories and good times first... If true, I offer what ever I can to help his wonderful wife and sons
through this!
