The close adviser to President Ronald Reagan, Michael K. Deaver has died today at his home in Bethesda Md, he was aged just 69.

The family released a statement which said the cause of death was pancreatic cancer.

Michael Deaver was known for being able to manipulate the media on what the president said and looked like, he was able to do his job of protecting the image of Ronald Reagan like no one else.

The man was amazing at making sure the camera angles, poses and settings were perfect to enhance the Presidents appearance with flair.

If we could sum up in a paragraph what were Michael Deaver’s best professional qualities it would be best said by Nancy Reagan.

In her memoir she said Mr. Deaver’s greatest skill “was in arranging what were known as good visuals — televised events or scenes that would leave a powerful symbolic image in people’s minds”

May he rest in peace.
