May 22, 2014
Sad to report the passing of Michael Schaefer on May 22, 2014. He had been battling cancer and died in Ohio. He was 41. Michael had family and friends in Ohio, California, Florida, and elsewhere. In San Francisco, Michael was the first Mr. Hayes Valley Leather, and put the title on the map that led to a great 11-year run of the title.
Michael was also a proud member of Sandy Mama Reinhard s family (Mama's Rock Hard boy). He faced some difficult challenges in his lifetime, and there were always kind souls who recognized the truth of who he was and stood beside him with support and unconditional love. He taught many of us with his mischievous smile, humor, and open life story. Just a few of the treasures he leaves us.
Be at peace, Michael. Girrrrrrrrrrrrl.
Love you always, Daddy Ray Tilton
