You probably didn’t know Mike Sparrow. And to be perfectly honest, I really didn’t know him either. But we’ve lost another Athens musician. This has been a truly horrible week for our community with Randy’s passing, snowstorms and power failures, and now this.
Mike played in a Sublime tribute group called “Wrong Way.” I always had them perpetually marked as a “Go See Eventually” kind of band. I’m regretting that now. My thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.
Flagpole has details here about what happened.
Nuci’s Space has a blurb about Mike here.

Please come out and show you respect for a life that ended way to soon. Mike you will be missed! RIP
I wish I could have been there to show my sport for a truly amazing person…since i couldn’t can anyone post his songs from his album. I can only find Sanctuary, which was incredible. I would love to hear his other songs.Love and miss you Mike!
Mike Sparrow rocks my world. I am glad that his soul is at peace, but I believe the world is now poorer for his passing. Our loss; his well earned gain. Mike is truly one of the most beautiful souls to ever spring from the mind of God.Peace,Jason Wilcox
