For those who didn't know him, Michael was an awesome guy with a lot of passion for RPGs and handheld gaming. He'd been battling cancer for a long time, but you could almost miss it with how positive his attitude was through all of this.
We interacted on Twitter a lot over the years and that was always what struck me, how positive Michael he was. He was a huge supporter of the PSVita, and had this overflowing love for RPGs of all kinds. I loved to just chat with him about games that we both loved. So much of what we talk about in communities like this can be negative, but to be honest I have no idea what games Michael didn't like, because he always just writing about what he enjoyed.
I'm not sure how many people knew him directly, but RPGamer.com has been around for so long, I'm sure he's touched many people's lives directly or indirectly through both his writing and the #TeamHandheld hashtag. We lost a really good one.
RIP Michael.
