Mike Clark died in his sleep last night.
His family announced on Facebook, “It is with great sadness that we announce that Mike Clark has passed away during the night. He is now flying high like he always wanted. 🛫🛬✈️🛩 We do ask for the privacy of the family members as they mourn his passing but welcome to leave any posts or comments below and they will be passed on to the family.”
From highschool in the early 90s to the new Drew and Mike podcasts, Mr. Clark has made me laugh my ass off. So sorry to hear about the loss. All of Southeastern Michigan will miss him greatly.

So very sad to hear this! I listened to Drew and Mike from 1997 until I moved to Wisconsin in 2011, my mom sent me a message with the last minutes of their final show at WRIF! Just recently discovered the new podcast and it brought me all kinds of memories (aka salad story!) RIP, I’m so sorry, Trish and family.

I am deeply sad by Mike’s passing. So many many great memories! My husband and I even taped some of the morning shows so we could listen to them on all those week end drives house hunting back in the ’90’s. I even sat outside the radio station on Drew and Mike’s last day and had Micky Redmond deliver a good bye package to them.
To Drew, Trisha and his family my deepest sympathy! He was a part of all our mornings!!

First to the family,
Very sorry for your loss. You knew Mike on another level, and I hope the special memories you hold of him will be with you forever, and that they can be passed down thru generations.

I’m sorry for the loss of your close friend, radio partner, brother from another mother. I’m sad for your loss.
I loved your show on WRIF, absolutely loved it, so many great laughs. I haven’t much listened to the station after you guys left.
Sad day for radio when you guys departed 101, sad day losing Mike.
Will keep your best of clips for years to come, and hopefully share with my daughters once they’re old enough (25+ LoL!!)
Thinking of you all,

No words for our loss. DITTO to everyone’s comments. I’ve never felt closer to this family of his fans! Mike made us ALL laugh until we cried, got us through hard times and made us all TRULY feel like he was a good close friend when we’d never even met him!
We couldn’t WAIT for “Drew and Mike” to come on in the morning! … and how many times did we ALL quote the “drops” from that show!?!!! TOO many memories to recount here. R.I.P. sir.
Sincerest condolences to his family, co-workers and ALL of the listening area. We’ll never forget you, Mike… I KNOW he can feel the love.
One of a kind. Nobody was funnier or more appreciated!
Fly HIGH, sir!
