Michael Reardon: Video Celebration Part III

Part III of the Michael Reardon Video Celebration takes a look at Michael and one of his favorite climbing spots–Joshua Tree.  If you are not familiar with Joshua Tree, Michael recently had an article appear in Urban Climber Magazine that he wrote after one of his recent outings.

All of this, of course, is leading up to the Official Michael Reardon Celebration taking place at Malibu Creek State Park outside of Los Angeles, California this coming Saturday.  Family and friends will be coming together to celebrate a life in the fashion that Michael would have wanted it done…climbing and having fun.  If you would like to recieve more information on this event, please send me a brief email through my “Contact & Submit” page and I will quickly forward you the official flyer.

Michael Reardon: A Video Celebration Part I

As we march closer to the Michael Reardon Celebration being held on August 18th at Malibu Creek State Park outside of Los Angeles, California,  I thought it would be nice to see some videos of Michael.   Six days remain to make plans to join the family and friends for the celebration of a life that touched many, many lives…not only in the climbing community, but around the world. 

Over the next few days I will be posting my own celebration of Michael’s life through video, brought to you by YouTube.  Hope you enjoy.

As we watch, let’s all keep Marci, Nikki, and the rest of Michael’s family and friends in our thoughts and prayers–J. Alan Hendricks

Official Michael Reardon Celebration August 18, 2007–More Info Update

I previously made a post concerning the “Official” Michael Reardon Celebration taking place on August 18, 2007. Here is a bit more information.

Celebrate Michael Reardon

August 18, 2007–9 am

Malibu Creek State Park, 1925 Las Virgenes Rd., Calabasas, CA   91302      (818)880-0367 for more info.

Dress:  Climbing Casual.

Come ready to listen as Michael’s friends and family celebrate his life, his accomplishments, and finally get a word in edgewise without his blessed interuptions.  Bring your gear and climb with us when your done.  FREE PARK ENTRY & PARKING

All of this information is coming directly from the official flyer that I have been supplied with from a friend of the family.  The flyer itself is beautiful, but it was sent to me in .pdf format, so I am trying to figure out a way to post the flyer at this time.

In a previous post, it was mentioned that this was a Memorial to Michael Reardon, at this time, it is being corrected as a Celebration.  No Memorial will be taking place, but this is the closest thing you are going to get. 

Michael Reardon will always be thought of as the Happy-Go-Lucky Persona that he was, caring first about family and second about climbing….but always celebrating life to its fullest.  If you are in the area, please stop by and show your support not only for Micheal Reardon, but also his family who was the inspiration and drive behind Michael’s greatest of accomplishments.
