I met Mack at the Jimmy Lewis off-road training class in November of 2003, and we instantly bonded because we both piloted KTM 640 Adventures. Mack's enthusiasm for riding was impressive, his passion for bikes surpassing my own obsession. He discussed in great detail the complexities of installing a steering damper on the KTM, and the nuances between a TKC80 and a MT21 knobby. I also remember how conflicted he was about leaving the Northwest for Texas, but he was also optimistic that one day he would return, and ride the Cascades once again. He taught me that if there is something you've always wanted to do, or something you've always wanted to see, try to make it happen. Life is here, today, and there is not a better time to seize the opportunity than right now. Godspeed, Mack, and when you are riding your bike in heaven, keep going just a little further, around the next bend, because you never know what you will find.

On Oct. 5, 2005, it felt like half my heart had been torn out. The loss of Mack still hurts but time does help heal and preparing this website was a sort of therapy. I hope this memorial gives everyone who cared about Mack the comfort it gave me. I hope it helps you know that most of his life was happy, that his suicide was the result of chemical-imbalance-induced depression following a lengthy recovery from a severely broken leg, followed by a second fracture and that recovery, before the final horrendous cancer treatment process. Too much for an active person; too many chemical changes.

Let's remember the Mack we knew and will miss always. Let's share our memories and keep him in our hearts. Thank you for your visits here and your contributions to the website. I love to hear what Mack meant to others.

Sincerely,

Linda (Mack's Mother)

I never had the privelege to meet Mack in person. When Mack became ill with Cancer I started to e-mail him and send him cards to try and lift up his spirits. I received many e-mails back and to my surprise I received a phone call from Mack one day just before his death. We did not know each other that well but yet we talked for quite a well about many things that he had regretted not doing in his life. He felt bad that he had never settled down and met the right women and had children. I told him that he was still young and he just was not looking in the right places for a woman We talked about depression and he promised me that he would seek help because he had been feeling very down lately. He then asked if he could call me again. That call never came from Mack. My husband arrived home from work shortly after that call with the shocking news of Mack's death. I miss my e-mail pal and those calls that never came. I know Mack where ever you are your suffering an that hurting feeling that you could not fix alone is gone. Thank you for the privelege of getting to know you even if it was for a very short time.
