I hope you can live on forever in the beautiful work you've made. You were an inspiration to me, and I'm deeply saddened I'll never get that chance to meet you. A talented man and an amazing guy... we will miss you. Rest in peace, Mike. I hope you can live on forever in the beautiful work you’ve made.

This is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do in my life. Saying goodbye to Mike. Mike Wieringo was my friend. We shared our lives early on, before he found his calling, before he would share his gift with this world, a gift that will forever live on, before that, we were just friends. The kind of friends that just hung around and talked about comic books, before they were as cool as they are now, Watchmen, Daredevil, Swamp Thing, Superman, Batman, X-Men, Cerebus, Groo, Crisis & more. Fun, excitement & adventure, just like the people that spoke for them, that brought them to life, Frank Miller, Dave Gibbons, Allan Moore, John Byrne, Dave Sim, Sergio Argonies, George Perez & all the rest that worked, not just because of a paycheck, but because, they liked it. This was our world. This world of four-color entertainment that somehow captured our hearts and imaginations, a world that Mike was meant to be in, that was meant to contribute to. And He did. Mike became an artist, a storyteller, a friend and an inspiration to others, many, many others. Mike, if you never met him, was the kind of guy that put you at ease, because he met you as an equal, a comic book fan, someone that loved this art form as much as you did. And he shared that with us until the end. Mike Wieringo died on Sunday, August 12th, 2007. His Mother & Father lost a Son, a Beloved son. Matt lost a Brother, a Beloved Brother. And I lost a Friend, a Beloved Friend. I love you Mike. I miss you and I will always hold you close to my heart. Your buddy, Paul. Saying goodbye is hard.

I e-mailed Deviant Art about Mike and they said they are willing to help you guys out in any way in regards to his deviant art site. I made mention of keeping his site running indefinitely but they didn't tell whether that was possible or not. I think that is for you guys to negotiate. Take care. Chad T.
