I'm not sure this board was ever aware of this, checked around topics and didn't see any announcement.
• Thursday, November 3rd – Every story has a beginning and an end. Regrettably, not all stories have a "happy" ending. I can't begin to tell you how it saddens me to have to tell you that Michael died of respiratory failure this evening at 7:45 PM. He died peacefully surrounded by his mom, dad and sister Danielle. He is now in a place free from pain. For that we are grateful.

It's sad to know that our good friend Dark181st, the guy who pretty much invented and got the Perfect Dark Battle Arena running, wasn't able to recover from MNGIE. However, at least now the stress his body was going through all that time is ended and he can be at peace.

Yeah, there's a sticked topic in General. It pissed me off to no end that that disease took him away from us and his family.

He was an inspiration to us all. I'm sorry I never had the chance to participate in any arenas with him.

Someone should dedicate an Arena to Dark181st... he basically carried the PDBA from where Dr Doak left off.

I would dedicate the current one to him, if it was getting the love and attention it deserved. As it stands now, I don't think there's enough life left here to do him justice.

I sent an email to his dad saying that we all felt the loss of him and that I personally was sad to see him go but happy that the insanity and pain is over.

I posted the news in the Alien Gate board of GameFAQs some time ago. I really wanted to meet the guy.

I talked to him on AIM a couple of times and I was in an arena with him.. I think twice, not sure, but then he said he was busy and didn't participate on the PDGB board or AG.

I talked to him on AIM like twice. One time it was his dad saying "Mike's not at the computer now, this is his father."
