Back in the day, Mike introduced me to the rock band The Cars. As a kid the music was nothing like I’d heard before. Amazing. To this day, when I hear any tune by The Cars, I immediately think of Mike. Maybe strange to say, but I remember our friendship more through that music.

My sympathies to your family. I have fond childhood memories of Mike that begin in Oak school and run through cub scouts, Boy Scouts, Martial arts, and Maine East high school. He and I were good friends in those days. And then as early life paths often do diverge later on we lost contact with each other. But his memory will remain strong with me and I am grieving his untimely and sudden death along with your family in my own small way.
All my best to you during this most difficult time.
Sincerely,
David

The world has a lost an ambassador of teamwork, generosity, and kindness. I will dearly miss our banter from the past 8 years about Chicago sports and his charming raw personality. He was my Chi-town pal. On behalf of the Quality Organization in Corona, CA, our thoughts are with his family.

To the Sieghart family – words cannot express how deeply sorry I am for your loss. Mike and I were friends in High School and kept in touch every so often afterwards. Even though I haven't seen him for quite some time, I remember Mike being a very kind, passionate, giving soul who was always fun to be around. He would always put himself before others and would do anything for his friends. He had such a great smile that always warmed your heart. What I'll always remember him for is his love of Led Zeppelin, Snakes, and Martial Arts. I'm so very saddened by his untimely passing. Again, my deepest sympathies and condolences go out the Sieghart family. You're in my thoughts and prayers. Farewell, and God bless you, Mike. You will be missed.
