Please pass along.... RIP Mike Yeager Eastcoast Performance!!!!

FOR THOSE THAT DONT KNOW my friend of many years Mike Yeager has passed away... i drove by to check on my friend to find the police and the hazmat team there to recovere his body... sad for me getting off at 11 pm.... He was the most real corvette guy i ve ever known... he loved the corvette, he loved his customers, and never minded spending time to help them even if they werent paying customers...... i started doin cars for him 25 years ago.. it was a 78 with flared fenders.. then his 98, then his 02 Z06, then his 06' Z06... the Z06 made 998 HP on the rear wheels.... incredible.......

My condolences to his family. I spoke with Mike a few months ago and he was having health issues. He seemed to have recovered some and was on here again for a while.

A true loss for his family, friends and this community. :sadangel:

OMG, Joey! :eek: I am soo sorry to hear this! This so hard to believe!

I, like some others here, were aware of some of Mike's ongoing health related issues, but like Ed stated, I too thought he was recently making progress. I have some really fond memories of meeting Mike, his Dad, Clif and you, as well as hanging out with you guys for a few days there in Greenville a couple years back, while you worked on my car. He was a good natured, genuinely nice man and fun to be around.

This is really saddening, and my condolences go out to his family and to you too my friend.

:sadangel: May God Rest His Soul. :sadangel:

Sad to hear :( I bought my clutch from him two years ago. Talked on the phone with him for a good 30min, great guy.
