RIP Mike Robbins

The idea that members of the gay porn site where "Mike" performed would want to get in touch with his family to display their own grief, weeks after his death and when his family may be just beginning to heal, is very scary.

Most people who die at his age don't leave behind them the testimony to their physical, mental and spiritual beauty that he has left and that reside in the archives of this site. In this day and age it's a heritage anyone could be proud of.

Thanks very much for this post David, and thanks for being instrumental in bringing him to us in the first place.

Very well said Slim. Thank you!

And thank you David for great advice to all of us. And especially for introducing us to such a wonderful young man with a heart of gold.
 
Aladin... You know I never saw the broke michael thread.
With that said, I now feel we should just say Rest In Peace Michael and end the long number of posts by mainly the same people.
Ill say it : "MIKE REST IN PEACE" You were a good guy Ill miss your smile and soft voice. I wish we could have hugged you and told you how good you are as a person. I will miss you.
 
that's all I ask

I have never once ever wanted to contact any of mikes family, just for us to find some closure and peace of mind...some people can move on very quickly while others take a little longer, and as I wrote in my last post "the long cold winter is coming to an end" I know what's done is done, my thoughts are now moving in a more positive direction, I am finding closure and remembering mike and andrew with fewer and fewer painful moments, thank you for being so patient with me.....:blush: REST IN PEACE MICHAEL AND ANDREW, love you guys, your pain is gone now, and ours is beginning to heal, till next time friends..........................................................
 
Mike belonged to a larger "family" than the one he was born to. He belonged to us in ways that he could not with his "earthly" family. If we grief for him, it is because we bonded with him in a way that is uniquely ours. Roman Catholics are always looking for relics of their saints, well, we who loved Mike are maybe doing the same but in this case we want to know what happen to our "saint" - Privacy be damned! Don't get mad at us or condescend our intrusiveness; just be glad that Mike is so highly thought of that his greater family that he created through his own efforts are reaching out in love no matter how scary.
 
amen and amen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I couldn't have said it better, you are a jewel,:thumbup1:
 
Aladisane73,
As one who also suffers from this disease I knew what Mike was going through but I didn't have enough courage to say it on this forum. Many thanks to you for bringing it to the attention of all the people who read this thread. I hope that perhaps it might just help them to remember if they come across it in someone else.
 
I'm a fighter

I didn't work as a nurse for 20yrs and not know how to give somebody a cold shower when they needed it!! these boys are human beings with lives to be lived and respected, and when it comes to the attention of the management that one of them is in trouble they better damn well pay attention, or they'll have more tragedies on their hands, and not all families are as forgiving.... I'm not placing any blame on anyone, just giving out a little wisdom from an old nurse, TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT KIDS.............
 
To be honest, I think it's hard to understand why those that know won't say what happened exactly. I realize that there is a need for privacy, but saying how someone dies doesn't tell us who they are (God forbid we know who the person is). For a lot of people, I think knowing these things brings about closure. As rude as it may sounds, I would have rather not known at all if you were going to keep everyone wondering. I also think that NOT saying has made people think of things that may be worse than the reality (but maybe not). In any event, I'm saddened by it.. and I'm not looking to stir this debate up again.. I just wanted to give my thoughts as well. He seemed like a great person.. he definitely wasn't my favorite star, but seemed likable enough.

Please don't anyone get nasty with me.. I've seen some rather condescending posts in this thread and it's totally unwarranted.

It's really true that no one knows the circumstances of his death. Owing to the fact that everyone here is a little loath to come out and ask his family (we know him because we watched him performing sexual acts with other guys on pornographic videos) we will probably never know. I understand there's nothing in the papers about how he died, just a simple obit telling when and where. If we were lifelong friends, who hadn't "met" him in these specific circumstances, we would probably have known the details two months ago.

I asked as well, on the first day Mark posted, how it happened. And was more surprised to find that some of my friends found the question to be out of place than that no one knew the answer.
 
I'm new to the "blog". How sad that the first thing I read is the loss of Mike R. I always enjoyed his movies, and that "imp-ish" nature of his. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

That's interesting. I don't think it's out of place to ask that question though .. I think that kind of information helps us reconcile someone's loss. I just recently found out about Dustin/Andrew and it just shocking and horrifying to me, but knowing did what happened didn't leave me wondering though I'll admit it still bothers me a lot.
 
I knew this would happen

as a nurse for 20yrs I never had anything like this kind of reaction on managements part, concerning the cause of death info about a patient. management on this site has just gone overboard concerning Mike Robbins cause of death, none of us want to know his personal identity, just WHAT, HOW, and WHY he died, there are common strangers out there in the public that didn't know mike half as well as we do, and yet they have access to the cause of death that we who knew and liked mike and considered him a friend will never be able to get ahold of........that's a shameful way to treat his friends, it's a slap in the face of everyone who feels his loss, very disrespectful, none of us want to intervene in his families affairs, we just have a human right to know what caused michaels death...........but that info will not come from this site, stangers that could give a damn know this info, but not so for those of us that valued mikes friendship, remember the grieving have a right to know what happened to a LOVED ONE, and he was loved by alot of us.............SHAME ON YOU!!

I see no evidence of the Broke Straight Boys management going "overboard" about the annoucement of Mike's death.
They have acted appropriately & with dignity.
 
no one has said that

And thank you David for great advice to all of us. And especially for introducing us to such a wonderful young man with a heart of gold.

I have never, never, never wanted to contact mikes family, so don't put words in my mouth, ok, all I have ever wanted to know was HOW, WHY, and WHAT caused his death, just to help bring closure, you just can't tell someone that is feeling this kind of loss to GET OVER IT!! or to try to remember the good times, because your mind is not at peace for the lack of knowlege that does allow for healing and closure to begin, am I the only one that seems to understand this?? that young man reached out to us as a friend on this very chat site and alot of us responded with warmth and compassion as well as heart felt friendship, then after he suffers a tragic end we're sopposed to just act like OH WELL isn't that to bad, poor guy! he was not just a PORN MODEL to some of us, he was our friend, and friends have a right to know the cause of death of a loved one. GET REAL PEOPLE!!!!!!
 
you just don't get it

the very fact that they have gone to such lengths to keep the cause of death concerning mike is going OVERBOARD, and to prolong the loss that some of us feel by refusing to tell us HOW, WHY, and WHAT happened is cruel
 
This thread continues to grow with people demanding to know what happened to Mike. My assumption is that no one knows. If you start reading the obituaries in your local paper you will start to see many if not most times a young person passes the obituary will only say they were found in their home or died at his or her residence. Now and then you will see died of a sudden illness but that usually puts them in a hospital. What this means is if you’re not family your not going to find out because the family does not want people to know. Now if this is a case of found at his residence, which I think someone said. Since we know its not of old age which leaves a heart problem or ext, in which case they would have taken him to the hospital regardless, and there he would be pronounced dead. So use your imagination what does this leave as possibilities and can you now understand why the family is keeping it hush? I can only think of two probable solutions and neither one is very nice to think about. Now understand I do NOT know anymore then any of the rest of you folks I am just reading between the lines and am willing to accept what it says. I am extremely sad at Mike’s passing and wish someone could have helped him what ever the cause was. But for now draw your own conclusions because that’s all your going to get and please let the poor man rest in peace.
