Memorial Celebrating the life of Michael Vice 1975 - 2010

R.I.P Michael Vice

I learned earlier this week that a good rotorhead friend of mine, Mike Vice, lost his life in a tragic auto accident on April 7th, 2010. Mike lived in Atlanta in the early 2000's and many of you knew him from the Ball/Vice racing team. He was a good friend to me and helped me a lot when I had my 3rd gen RX-7. I will miss him greatly. My condolences go out to his family, son Jude, and the many friends he left behind.

I would like to get together with some rotorheads who remember Mike and celebrate his life by sharing memories of Mike. If any of you would like to post stories, or pictures here, please do so. Perhaps someone can suggest a place for us to organize and honor him.

Holly

I found this after a little searching....so sad..

violent truck wreck on Alabama U.S. Route 43 kills three and critically injures one.

The motor vehicle collision happened near Mount Vernon, Alabama on April 7, 2010. The deadly wreck involved two motor vehicles involving on pick-up truck. Allegedly, 19- year old Chase Alan Stevens was traveling south on U.S. 43 when his Honda Accord veered out of his lane. Immediately after veering from his lane, Steven's Honda hit a concrete culvert in the median. The car that was originally headed south was hurled through the air into the northbound lane of the highway and as a result smashed into an F150 pickup truck, driven by 35-year old Michael Cummings Vice.

Alabama Emergency Services quickly responded on the scene of the deadly car accident; however, the severe injuries sustained by Stevens and Vice proved to be fatal and both were pronounced dead at the scene. Another passenger, 19- year old Justin Black Averette, who was riding with Stevens in his Accord at the time of the accident, also suffered fatal injuries in the 2 car wreck. The only surviving victim is 25-year-old Benjamin Hugener, who suffered critical injuries and was immediately transported via ambulance to University of South Alabama Medical Center.

According to reports, the victims in the fatal car wreck worked at the ThyssenKrupp Steel USA facility and were either on their way to or from work. It is not clear if any of the victims were wearing their seatbelt at the time of the crash

Wow this is such sad news, Carlos and I were just talking about Mike over the weekend. The engine in Carlos's car came from Mike years ago and has been a damn strong motor for years.
