Background
Michael Ballard passed battling cancer. A loving Husband of 28 years, Father to a 17 year old son Reid, Brother and loyal friend & Co-worker to so many through the years...
The outpouring shown has been incredible to both Reid and I. We appreciate all the wonderful gifts of love and support in the form of food and flowers, but it's also been too much. We wanted a way to better way to honor Michael's legacy in Liu of a memorial service and in a more lasting way.
We have chosen a location Horan & McConaty Memorial Garden on County Line in Centennial, CO. His memorial rock overlooks our home, a golf course he enjoyed playing with his family and friends, as well as the beautiful mountains and aspens he adored living in Colorado.
This will allow us to share all the stories and support in a way that will help Michael's legacy live on in our hearts. Contribute
