OMG, y'all. Mike Warns @dropzone passed away suddenly (2022-May-22) - GoFundMe link now set up

One of the stalwarts of the SDMB. He will without any doubt be very much missed.

Sad news.

My condolences to you, Beckdawreck, and to his family and friends. Thanks for letting us know.

Oh, no!

He was one of the Dopers I met at the one and only Dopefest I went to. I have been worried about him and his health problems, but he was one of those perpetual posters you think will be around forever.

RIP and may his memory be a blessing.

In so sorry to read this.

Rest in peace, dropzone.

That’s so sad. I’m so sorry, Beck and Dropzone family.

Oh, I’m so sorry to hear this.

Rest in warmth Mike.

This is sad news, indeed. My condolences to you, @Beckdawrek . and his family.

Very sorry to read this news. He was one of the regulars around here and will be missed.

My sincere condolences to his family and @Beckdawrek. Om Shanti.

Adding my condolences. He was a real character and will be missed around here.

He was one of the good ones. His sense of humor will be missed here.

Sorry to hear this.

Beck: you might find out if the family needs help with funeral expenses or if not there if some memorial fund we could raise some money for.

I’ll look into it. I’ll contact his eldest daughter.

He is irreplaceable and will be missed.

Damn, sad news indeed. Joining in with all who have said he will be missed.

He will be missed. I’m sad that he had such a bad time at hospital and rehab, and only died in the end.

When you find out, contact the mods about setting something up as any fundraising appeals must be approved by them.

Oh, yeah. thx

My condolences to his friends and family.

Does anyone know offhand what other names he went by? He was obviously an Old Doper, but I don’t recall either Dropezone or MW from the old days. I got linkedin and facebook contacts from him about a decade ago, but I didn’t recognize, or perhaps didn’t remember, the name “Warns”, and I am cautious with linkedin and avoid Facebook completely if I can help it.

He was MikeW on Live Journal. He was Mike Warns on Facebook.

He was on Cecil’s Science Advisory board.
He had a profile on that Randy guys board.

I’m pretty sure he has a profile on Giraffe board as @Dropzone.

He usually has a lower case D.
As in @dropzone.
