Mike Layton - Devastating News.
 

I'm saddened to have to report that Mike Layton, VDF member Mlayton, was killed in a motorcycle accident. I just read about it over at DFO. Here's the link... https://www.drumforum.org/threads/ho...sed-on.200579/

I have no words to describe this horrible news. RIP Mike.

He was good to everybody he came into contact with. So glad I got the chance to meet him and talk with him and call him a friend. Peace and love to his family and friends. Heartbreaking!

This is Ben, owner of DFO, when I took over in 2011, Mike was an Admin and was a big help in navigating the admin area, he and I talked many times and I would have been lost without his help, he is sorely missed, there is a go fund me page, I think a link was posted here, hope members here can help, anything I am sure is greatly appreciated, Ben

This comment describes who Mike was to everyone who had the blessing of being touched by his life. He will be sorely missed. A rare soul.
