Respawn Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 My friends here in the Corsair community. It comes with great disappointment that I have to inform you that our good friend Mike "Yellowbeard" Clements has passed away. I have worked with Mike personally through the years and it tears me apart to see someone like him leave this world.:[pouts: He leaves behind a young daughter and a wife of 15 years. I will post funeral arrangements when we have more information. I would like to also explore the opportunity as a community to try and arrange a donation for the family to help them with this unfortunate circumstance. I will post more soon.

Corsair Employee jonnyguru Posted December 11, 2014 Corsair Employee Share Posted December 11, 2014 I'm literally at a loss for words. Mike was only 46. We're not entirely sure what happened, but regardless this is very tragic news for his family, friends and coworkers. He will be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImtheBest Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 WOW :( I'm so sorry this so sad to me. He helped me get the Domintor Ram Platinum. He was great help and i was wondering why he didn't comment in my threads. I prey that hes in a better place. I wish hes family all the best it is so hard to lose somebody especially when u have a young one at such a young age it is very hard. I wish them the best and prey for them to have strength to pull thru this hard time for them. I was 18 when i lost my Mom from colon cancer and she was the greatest person ever she inspired everyone with her books she was a Teacher at a school and i was young to so i know how it feels its a rough thing to go through. My thoughts and preys are with u Yellowbeard R.I.P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
