Michael Jeudevine

Michael Andrew Jeudevine is remembered as a young man who worked in the Las Vegas community as a cook at the 101 Club. Public records and law‑enforcement material identify him by name and note that he rode a 1969 blue-and-white Honda 350 motorcycle and that he wore a blue helmet — small, human details that help recall a life lived in ordinary places: the kitchen, the road, among friends and coworkers.

Friends and colleagues last reported seeing Michael during the early morning hours of August 25, 1977, when he was at his place of employment. In the days that followed he did not return to the routine of work and companionship that had marked his life. Nearly a week later, on September 3, 1977, hikers found his body near the Lake Mead Recreation Area outside Las Vegas. Public records note that his motorcycle was later recovered at a residence on South Atlantic Street. Those facts are part of the public record, but they do not define the person — they are the fragments left for others to hold while remembering him.

There is little publicly available personal detail beyond the circumstances surrounding his disappearance and the items connected to his daily life. That limited record still points to a real person with ties to the Las Vegas community: a young cook who had coworkers, friends, and a motorcycle he rode around town. Though the historical record is sparse, it is clear he mattered to people who knew him.

This page honors Michael Andrew Jeudevine by preserving the verified facts of his life and by acknowledging what is not known. For those who remember him, or who have family memories to share, preserving names and small details — the 101 Club, the blue-and-white Honda, the dates that mark his absence from community life — helps keep his presence alive in memory. If you have family‑authorized remembrances or verified details to add, those contributions will help this brief remembrance become fuller and more personal.
