Rest in Power Pirate Mike (Oct 30, 2015)

Stephen Michael Clift, known to many of us as "Pirate Mike" was killed on Friday, October 30th, 2015 while in the line of duty. The Occupy SF treesitter and military veteran was on his bicycle, delivering a flag to the family of a fallen veteran when a semi truck struck and killed him, according to online accounts from his friends and family. As we celebrate the life of Mike, and mourn the loss of such a valued person in our community, please share your memories, photos, and goodbye wishes in the comments below. Gatherings in honor of Pirate Mike will be happening throughout the week, some of which are listed here.
