It’s with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved friend and colleague, Michael Voigt. Michael passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by his loved ones on Saturday, March 24th in Corona, California. He is survived by his wife, Maggie Reese Voigt and his daughters.
Michael has been one of the top action shooters in the world for the past 30 years. His list of titles is too long to list.
