It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our dear colleague and friend, Mike Hargett.

Mike was more than a valued member of the CVMR® family. He was a cherished friend, a respected colleague, and someone whose kindness, warmth, and friendship touched the lives of those fortunate enough to know him.

While his professional contributions will be remembered with gratitude, it is the person behind those accomplishments whom we will miss most. His presence and the relationships he built over the years leave memories that will remain with us.

The loss of someone we have worked alongside for about 40 years, shared experiences with, and come to regard as a friend is never easy. Mike's passing leaves a profound sense of sadness among all of us at CVMR®.

On behalf of the entire CVMR® family, we extend our heartfelt condolences to Mike's family, loved ones, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.
Mike, you will be deeply missed, fondly remembered, and never forgotten.

Rest in peace, dear friend.
