Michael Blackmon

Ed's younger brother, Mike, was killed today riding a motorcycle home from work. Mike was a bit of a hell raiser andone heck of a funny guy. He was probably the biggest, strongest guy I know (of course, I work in computers so that doesn't say much), and I have clear memories of him from Ocean City to the Maryland Reneissance Festival.

He was obeying the speed limit, and did nothing wrong, but some car turned right into him without looking and Mike passed away at the scene of the accident. No helmets or thick leather jackets would have made a difference.

There are no fender benders on a motorcycle.

His obituary ran in the baltimore sun. He was 31. Click on the title of this post to go to his guest book on the Baltimore Sun homepage.

Rest in Peace, Mike.
