Mike Martello passes at 42

A little late in getting this out, but;

Around around 9:30 on June 2, 2009,  Mike Martello, age 42, passed away in Antwerp, Belgium, due to a congenital heart condition (Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome).

Born 5 October 1966, Michael Anthony Martello, has played many roles and touched many lives. Overcoming many personal obstacles and helping many to find their own way, these last few years were among Mike’s happiest. Mike loved his family and his students.

Mike lived life fearlessly and without regret. Mike died loving life.

Mike was a well known and very respected teacher of Chinese martial arts and his passing is a great loss to the community.
