Keep the Fanopurple family in your thoughts...
... and prayers. Just found out yesterday that Mike passed away late last week from heart issues he's been dealing with the past few years. This really hurts... him and I were great friends. I'm going to miss him.
The guys and I who played fantasy football with him are planning to do something special for his family. I'll update this with any information I get.
Thanks for sharing that link Wet. He certainly is missed here, can't imagine how much more he is missed in the real world.
so sad to hear. Prayers to his family and friends
Thanks for that link Wetlander. It was very nice to learn a little bit about Mike through his daughter. And I totally agree with her about him having a kind face.
Thanks for posting, Wet. Fano was a personal friend to me and he was such a great person. He was the heart and soul of our Fantasy Football league for the last 8 years. We have a great group and I am happy to say Wet is apart of that. Fano was by far the most amazing person to have spent time with in such an amazing league.
Fano will be missed and I miss him everyday. I am sure anyone that knew him would have nothing but great things to say.
RIP and you will forever be with us.
Aw geez. This is tough to hear. Thanks for letting us know Wetlander.
you know what really sucks about this, how many online "friends" have we lost but never know about due to the nature of our association? honestly, some of us likely know more about each other on here than some of our life long friends likely know, but when one of us passes on we just become lost posters.
I will just say it now, I am going to miss you fuckers when you are gone... yep even you dickheads bring some joy to my days. so just know that when your time comes, I will be praying for your soul, and for your loved ones peace of mind.
oh and since I am having a cocktail, lets raise our glasses to our departed friend, here's to Fano and all the smiles he has brought to all that have sailed with us over the years on the Longship.
^ That's sweet @JimmyinSD, I think. :p
But yes, life is too short and every minute is precious. I had an incident that was a close call a few months ago and have no issue expressing my appreciation for those in my life whether for a moment or a lifetime.
People are people are people are people. And we all bring something into each other's lives. I didn't know him outside of this board, but for Fano, I remember positivity and smiles. It's a good memory.
Unless Bill O'Brien has taken over SF, that would never happen cause he is the only persons who would make such an insane trade. I am shocked that some do not think that deal would favor the Vikes in an overwhelming way.

I know I have not been around much. So sorry to hear of this loss. Always enjoyed his content.
My first time looking at anything Vikings related in over a year… thoughts and prayers to his family.

I have been wondering about GV and PapaScott— place ain’t the same without them. It’s sad that fano is no longer with us. He was a truly loving, generous guy. But welcome back guys.
Sadly, another reminder as to how fleeting life is. Condolences to his family and loved ones.
so sad to hear about Fano, I have not been around much and am sad to have missed this. R.I.P
