Re: Sad News - One of our own has passed away.
I never met the guy, but did follow his build threads. Times like this are difficult for familes, my thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends network.

Re: Sad News - One of our own has passed away.
This is really sad. I never met Mike but i'm still shocked about it.
He was way too young to go out like this.

Re: Sad News - One of our own has passed away.
Wow, honestly a bit shocked... Got a chance to meet him at a dyno day last year, seemed like a great guy, and was always down to help out people (from what I saw from others project threads).
Seems lately people pass when its least expected. I also had found out the other day the former owner of Mavericks in roseville (The brother of the current owner, who is a close family friend), passed in a car accident.
RIP big guy.

Re: Sad News - One of our own has passed away.
Guys, we need to memorialize this weekend at the MAP proving grounds in some way for Michael.. It would mean alot to his family. Any pictures you have please tag Michael in them on facebook so his family can capture them. Also prelim information on the funeral services are looking like Thursday in Hastings. When we know for sure Scheides will post the information as it becomes official.
Thanks, Shawn

Re: Sad News - One of our own has passed away.
Damn, I am in Nebraska this week for work through Thursday  Won't be able to make this...hopefully a decent amount of styler's make it out though to show our support. Also perhaps we possibly buy a flower arrangement or something for him with some of our donations? |

Re: Sad News - One of our own has passed away.
Always a great guy to talk to. I talked to him on Thursday about his EVO X build and my trip over here in Asia. Can't believe he was here and now hes gone.Thoughts and prayers to his family. RIP Lomker.

Re: Sad News - One of our own has passed away.
^I love it spaz! If there's more designs floating out there, I'm sure anything is fine, decals can be made up pretty quickly at local printing shops!
I have the funeral info:
Caturia Smidt Funeral Home
201 East 7th Street
Hastings, MN
Directions: http://tinyurl.com/MichaelLomkerFuneralService
Closed Casket
This Thursday, June 23, 2011
Public visitation 10-11am and service at 11am
Checks can be made out to his father, Eugene Lomker.
His family is trying to keep his car sort-of as his legacy, at least for now. We kicked around the idea of trying to get it up to BIR this weekend and parking it in a safe, central place as a weekend-long memorial for him. If anyone has an extra spot on a trailer or may somehow be able to help us accomplish this, please let me know. The family have a lot on their plate to deal with so the idea of them trying to get it up there is just completely out of the question--but if we can get the resources to make it easy for the family to let us do this then it may just happen.

Re: Sad News - One of our own has passed away.
Spazzy, want to run that by FastSigns in Brooklyn Park? I will cover the initial run and all proceeds can go to his family.
Actually, I will email them with the graphic now, see if they have any ideas and see if we can get them for this weekend. I'll CC you if you wanna swing by there to proof it or whatever.
