Just a month short of his 62nd birthday, Mike had passed away a few days prior at Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital of natural causes.

All roads led to The Burger Box in Krugersdorp where bikers gathered while Mike’s escorted hearse made it’s way from Vrededorp. By the mid-morning, mourners then let roars of respect echo through the streets as they proceeded to the AFM Church in Noordheuwel for an 11:00 funeral service.
