<div>In Loving Memory of Michael Roy Laudate

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>It is with broken hearts that we share the sudden and unexpected passing of Michael Roy Laudate on May 23, 2025, at the age of 40.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Michael was a beloved son, brother, partner, grandson, uncle and friend. He was an avid outdoorsman who found joy in fishing, hunting, hiking, and camping. He worked hard as a truck driver and lived life with quiet strength and deep loyalty to those he loved.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>His passing has left our family reeling. Michael did not have life insurance, and his father, Roy Laudate, is now facing the unimaginable task of planning his son’s funeral without the financial resources to do so. No parent should have to bury their child—especially without support.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We are starting this fundraiser to help cover the cost of Michael’s final arrangements and memorial. Every dollar raised will go directly to easing the financial burden on Roy and ensuring Michael receives a respectful and meaningful sendoff.

</div>

<div>If you are able, please consider donating. If you cannot donate, we ask that you share this page to help us reach others who may be willing to support our family during this devastating time.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your compassion, your prayers, and your help.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>With gratitude,

</div>

<div>The Laudate &amp; Ash Families
