We must have been preparing to post this at the same time. I posted it, but there was a HTML problem, so I posted it again, but after you had, so it's on here 3 times.

I saw someone on another thread mention that Michael Davies had died, and I saw it mentioned on
this website that he died at 9:20 pm (I assume the local time wherever he was). We should pray for the repose of his soul. R.I.P., Michael Davies.

Sad indeed, for us. I suspect many a requiem mass will be offered for the repose of his soul, and rightly so.
Is there anyone that can post the propers for the traditional requiem mass? I tried to post it, but the format wouldn't work out.
Here is a link to one:

Not being a RC, who was this guy?
To: bonaventura
I will claim ignorance, but I am not aware of who Mr. Davies is. Can you enlighten me?
To: bonaventura; Land of the Irish
I don't think I could get the format either. Maybe Irish can.

Mr. Davies is the former President of the Una Voce Federation, and one of the foremost scholars associated with promotion of traditional Catholicism.
He was a first and foremost a historian, writing extensively about the Catholic Church in England during the protestant revolution, and much about the Catholic Church in the face of the current revolution and crisis.
Nothing I could write about him could do him any justice. I saw him speak during his battle with cancer (which he described as a "minor health condition", so as not to have those in the crowd feeling sorry for him), and the man was simply amazing. He will be missed.

Here's a biography I found in Latin Mass magazine:
Michael Davies was president of Una Voce International (an international federation of associations, founded in 1966 in Rome, that now includes national associations in 17 nations on every continent. It is dedicated to ensuring that the Roman Mass codified by St. Pius V is maintained as one of the forms of eucharistic worship which are honored in universal liturgical life, and to restoring the use of Latin, Gregorian Chant, and sacred polyphony in Catholic liturgy.), and is the author of many books on Catholic history and liturgy.

I don't want to be a stickler over Latin, but I think you posted the plural form of the prayer (but its good to pray for all the souls of the faithful departed, so it's not really a mistake). ;-) See below for the form Una Voce uses in their
press release.
Michael Davies, R.I.P.
It is with deep sorrow that I have to inform everyone of the death of Mr. Michael Davies, the President d'Honneur of the International Una Voce Federation. Michael suffered a heart attack at 9:20 p.m. on Saturday 25th September and died instantly.
Requiem aeternam dona ei, Domine; et lux perpetua luceat ei.
Michael's family will be keeping me informed and I will send out information as I receive it. They have also asked that for the moment no one contacts the family direct until arrangements have been made. Should anyone require any specific information please contact me via email on argentum@euphony.net
Leo Darroch, Secretary, International Federation Una Voce.

May he rest in peace.
On Saturday, September 25, the great Michael Davies died. After a long and courageous battle with cancer, Mr. Davies was taken, perhaps mercifully by the Divine Judge, of a massive heart attack.
Having read many of Mr. Davies' works, having heard him speak, and now having met him, I am struck by his humility and the objectivity with which he approaches any subject.
B.C., I presume this is even sadder news to you, having met the man. I am sorry.

It seems that FR doesn't support that version of HTML. I tried formatting it too, but it won't line up into neat columns.

May all of the Saints in Heaven greet him as he enters. Truly Tradition has lost a giant today. R.I.P.
