It is with shattered hearts that we share the unexpected and tragic passing of Mike Freiley. He was found early this morning by his daughter, Jessica Freiley — a heartbreaking moment that no one should ever have to experience.

Mike was truly one of a kind — a man who never met a stranger, only friends he hadn’t made yet. He had a special way of making people feel welcome and heard. Whether you knew him for years or just met him in passing, you likely walked away with a laugh — and probably a story about cars, motorcycles, ghosts, being struck by lightning, and many more. He had so many to share.

Jessica and the rest of the Freiley family are now facing unimaginable grief alongside unexpected financial burdens, including funeral expenses and time away from work. We humbly ask for your support to help them navigate this difficult time and honor Mike in the way he deserves. Any donation — regardless of the amount — will be used directly to cover these expenses. Even if you’re unable to give, sharing this campaign or leaving a message of support means the world.

Please keep Jesse and the rest of our family in your thoughts and prayers as we begin to process this loss. Your love and kindness mean so much during this time.
