This is so hard, I know. Been through it with my own son. My love, support and condolences to his loved ones. I'll say this about Mike Rinder, he's maintained his dignity and decorum in circumstances and conversations where practically nobody else has, even as lesser personalities spewed unkind public expressions at and about him, even he suffered through tho whole of his treatment and transitioning, I truly admire that. Good journey, Mike Rinder.
Even though we knew it was coming, its hard. Mike Rinder probably could have taken a big payout and spent his days sipping pina coladas on a beach somewhere, but instead he did the hard thing. Even took some hits from some he was trying to help - and while critically ill. He leaves a powerful legacy. Like his old friend Marty Rathbun said - back in the days when he called him 'Mike' instead of 'Rinder' - 'Mike Rinder is a better man than I'. He will be missed.
Mike Rinder, 69, passed a year-and-a-half removed from his advanced esophageal cancer diagnosis, and shortly after sharing a photo with his wife and two kids over Christmas .
