It is with deep regret to announce the tragic passing of a wonderful club member, Zigster aka Mike Siggaard, age 37. Mike was a naturally friendly, approachable, engaging, and helpful fella. He was a creative, talented, expressive photographer with a keen artistic eye and a love for cars. Anyone that has been lucky enough to cross paths with Mike over the years in the club and at club events, will know he was only too glad to take club car photos, spend the time post-processing them and making them freely available for all to enjoy.
Over the years Mike contributed to the club in so many ways, here are a ‘few’ examples:
Mike joined the club on the 31st of March 2015 and purchased his first Subaru in April 2015, a 2000 Forester (https://isdc.ie/forum/threads/hello-everyone.41662).
In March 2017, Mike done a fantastic feature on a club members car, if you find time to review this, you will undoubtedly see the quality, time and effort Mike put in (https://isdc.ie/forum/threads/ciaran-wrx-my05-impreza-wrx.45493).
In July 2018, took some wonderful photos at Terenure to share with the club and its members (https://isdc.ie/forum/threads/zigpics-members-cars-terenure-2018.47594).
In Feb 2020, Mike and Eileen were on the lookout for a clean WRX, Mike said “I had to admit I was very much against it due to being cursed when it comes to Subaru’s, anyway if you can’t beat them join them, so we have decided to join the scene / club ‘Together’ and do this as a couple to break the curse and have some fun together
and get to share the pain together lol...”. In March 2020 Mike and Eileen bought a clean WRX to enjoy together (https://isdc.ie/forum/threads/a-new-wrx-beginning.48996).
Mike’s signature on the site “If you can dream it, you can do it” demonstrates his positive outlook in life and he certainly warmed the hearts of many a club member.
Our sincere thoughts are with Eileen and Mike’s family at this unimaginable traumatic time, the club extends our support. We can truly say Mike touched the hearts and lives of many in the club and will be sorely missed forever.
