Jones served the BCoFD as a Paramedic/Firefighter at various stations until calling Station 4D (Catonsville) home until his retirement as a Fire Lieutenant on April 4, 2012.

“Besides his years with the Baltimore County Fire Department, Jones called the Reese & Community Volunteer Fire Company in Westminster his second home and family. He joined the staff of Reese as a Paramedic in the late 1980’s working part-time until he became a full-time Paramedic, Fire Fighter, Engineer in January 2007. Since that time, he has served the Community as a paramedic, firefighter, engineer, and shift supervisor.

“Jones also volunteered at Lansdowne Volunteer Fire Company from 2011-2013 and Cape St. Claire Volunteer Fire Company from January 2013, until his death where he was promoted on May 19, 2021, as a Fire Lieutenant, by the Anne Arundel County Fire Department.

Michael Bryant Golden, Jr., 32, of York, PA, died suddenly on September 2, 2015 as the result of a motor vehicle accident outside of Lineboro.

Born November 3, 1982 in Baltimore, he was the son of Michael B. Golden, Sr. and wife Tonni of Westminster and Denise Lee Woods Kelly and husband Peter of York, PA. He is survived by Amy Golden, the mother of his child Mikayla Anne Golden and step-daughter Caroline Hake, all of York.

Michael was a Paramedic for Anne Arundel County Fire Department, Station 31, in Brooklyn Park, working on D Shift. He was a 2000 graduate of Westminster High School.

He was a best friend, side kick, and the little Mike to the big Mike. He was a confidant and friend to so many. He loved loud country music and big pick-up trucks. When he wasn't saving lives in Brooklyn (with his team of superheroes), you could find him in the gym lifting weights, out in a field getting muddy, or out with his friends singing bad karaoke. He loved as big as he laughed. His heart belonged to his daughter, Mikayla and in her eyes he will always be Superman. He loved his friends and his family, and truly had a passion for medicine. His professional life was devoted to the fire department and he was recently awarded Paramedic of the Year. He is now with his Superman (Pop-Pop) and dancing with Mom-Mom in Heaven.

Also surviving in addition to his parents is his soulmate Julia Troy of York; siblings Kaitlyn Akers (Andrew) and Kory Trudo (Katie); grandparents Susan Woods, William Woods (Deborah), Paul Custer (Marie); nieces and nephews Gunner & Sydney Akers and Kamdyn & Harper Trudo; and many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. He was predeceased by grandparents Bernie and Anne Golden.

A Memorial Service will be held on Monday at 3 pm at St. John Catholic Church, 43 Monroe St., Westminster. Officiating will be Rev. Joel Coleman. Interment will be private.

The family will receive friends at the Church from 2 pm until start of services.

In lieu of flowers, the family will accept donations to a Go Fund Me Page (Wounded Warriors Project or Best Buddies Maryland or Breast Cancer Research) that will be set up. Please see the Michael Golden, Jr. Memorial Page set up on Facebook.
