It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our partner, colleague, and dear friend, Michael Sundance Walsh, on July 1, 2024. Mike was not only a remarkable attorney whose contributions, dedication, and spirit helped shape our journey and success, he was a cherished friend who had a smile for absolutely everyone.
Mike was one of a kind, and for over 25 years at KD, where he started as an associate and ultimately became an equity partner, his commitment to excellence and unwavering advocacy for our clients earned him the respect and admiration of colleagues, judges, clients, and his very devoted team. But it was sense of humor, genuine kindness, and desire to befriend everyone, that set him apart. He was the life of the party, always ready with a joke, and had more friends than one could count.
Mike was born in Worcester, Massachusetts, graduated from the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, and earned his Juris Doctorate Degree from St. Thomas University. He was a faithful and vociferous Celtics and Patriots fan, always ready to prove their prowess to anyone at any time. He had a soft spot for animals, and was a steadfast supporter of local shelters and the Humane Society.
Mike enriched our lives in countless ways. As we mourn this tremendous loss, we also celebrate Mike’s life and legacy. We invite clients, colleagues, and friends to join us in honoring Mike’s memory.
In these difficult times, our thoughts and prayers are with Mike’s family. We extend our deepest condolences to them and ask that you keep them in your thoughts as well.
Calling hours for Mike will be held on Saturday, July 13th from Noon until 3:00 p.m. at O’Connor Brothers Funeral Home, 592 Park Avenue. In lieu of flowers please make memorial contributions to the Worcester Animal Rescue League, 139 Holden Street, Worcester, MA 01606.
