    Thoughts and prayers for his family, and I hope that wherever Mike is now, he's happy and comfortable.

    Suicide. May his soul finally find the peace his body never had.

    I never wanted to say it out loud, but I was afraid of this possibility ever since he went back to his Mike Penner identity. It just seemed like he had to be a very conflicted person. RIP.

    One of the best writers I ever worked with, and a great guy on top of it. One can only wonder what he went through in these past few years. We talked about getting together on one of my California visits and never did. I certainly wish now I had. I'll miss him.

    Sad. Another one of those things that we shouldn't need, but too frequently do, to remind us what's important and what's not. RIP.
