Coach Michael Lohberg continued to undergo treatment, first at NIH and then at Memorial Hospital West in Florida, and was able to coach and even travel in 2009. However, he continued to battle aplastic anemia throughout 2010 and treatments became less effective.

Early in 2011 he went into a cardiac arrest after an infection and never fully recovered. He was moved to hospice care in February and passed away in April at age 61.

Coach Lohberg is remembered as an inspirational and dedicated swimming coach, husband, and father. He was a role model to hundreds of swimmers and other coaches.

A more detailed account of his life can be found at the South Florida Aquatic Club website.
