Good morning everyone

Its with a sad heart i have some bad news, but good news at the same time.


Our beloved friend and fellow Squarebody enthusiast @Paladin passed away on October 8th around 10am after another battle with his health. Mike was suffering from COPD and some other health problems and has been for years. Him and I kept communication frequently via Text , sometimes telephone call. His wife pat messaged me late last night to share the news he went on to be with the Lord after an episode of seizures. The emergency staff attempted to revive him but he was too far gone this time.

The good news here is, hes out of suffering and now on with the Lord.

Pat doesnt have access to his account otherwise she wouldve posted herself from his account, so she asked me to let everyone know so you guys wouldnt think he's being rude or ignoring you.

His photos and death notice will be posted on www.auldsfuneralhome.com in a few days for anyone to view. You can find him under the name in the title.

Additionally they plan to have a memorial service on the Marine Corps birthday on 11-10-24. He would have liked that.

Take care guys, pray for Mike's family.
