We also express our condolences to Mike’s family.
He served his community well over the years. His commitment is what makes this community a special place to call home.

A statment from Mayor Ken Tedford:

I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Michael Fenn Mackedon, a man whose life was woven into the very fabric of Fallon. Mike was not only a distinguished attorney, serving our city with wisdom and integrity for over five decades, but he was also a pillar of our community—a gentleman of kindness, intellect, and unwavering dedication to justice.

As City Attorney, he provided steady leadership, prioritizing fairness and the well-being of our residents. His love for this land—its people, its traditions, and its future—was evident in everything he did. Beyond his professional legacy, Mike was a man of warmth and deep curiosity, a devoted husband, father, and grandfather who cherished the simple joys of life.

Fallon has lost one of its finest, but his legacy will endure in the lives he touched, the legal precedents he set, and the values he instilled in those who knew him. On behalf of the City of Fallon, I extend our deepest condolences to his wife of 58 years, Michon, his children, grandchildren, and all who had the privilege of calling him a friend.

Rest in peace, Mike. Your presence will be profoundly missed, but your impact on Fallon will never be forgotten.
