It is with great sadness and broken hearts that we say goodbye to our beloved brother, Michael. His passing was sudden and far too soon, leaving us at the age of 59. Michael was predeceased by his parents; Isabella in 1997 and Smile in 2017. He is survived by his sisters Fran (Joe predeceased 1996), Isabella (Bob). He was a kind and caring Uncle to; Doug, Darren, Cynthia (Chris), Sarah (Oscar), Matthew (Marianne); great-uncle to, Zac, Jordan, Josh, Joe, Emma, Keira, Mason and great-great-uncle to Owen. He will be missed by many other relatives and friends. Michael was born in Victoria and called it home for his entire life. His family was of paramount importance to him. His ability to make others feel special was a gift well learned from his parents. Like his father, he was a humble and quiet man who enjoyed the simple pleasures of life, his sports teams, music, travel, poker to name just a few. A Celebration of Life will be held at First Baptist Church, 877 N. Park St, Victoria, on Friday, October 1, 2021 at 11:00 AM.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Michael’s name to the BC SPCA, https://spca.bc.ca/locations/victoria, or to a charity of one’s choice. Condolences may be offered to the family below.

I met Michael on a Coronation Street trip in England in 2012 and saw him again on another Coronation Trip in 2014 in England. Michael was the consummate Coronation Street fan. Our Corrie group were looking forward to seeing Michael again in 2022. We will carry his love of Corrie with us. Your CanCor friends will miss you. Heaven has gained a special angel.

I’m am heart broken to hear of Mike’s passing. He was a great friend to me and I will always remember our chats at the airport. My condolences to his family and loved ones.
My thoughts and prayers are with you Fran and your family. I know he will be missed dearly by all who knew him. I meet Mike quite a few times and he had such a soft gentle spirit, always friendly and showed interest in what was going on. Blessings from Doug and I. We’re here if you need anything. Xoxo
My sincere condolences Fran and Bim. I will always remember the memories of Christmas spent in Victoria and how much fun Michael was. He was such a gentle soul, the world needs many more Mike’s. Proud to be cousins with him.
The good part, is too kept hearing about Mike. I feel like I know him for years, but the sad part is that he has passed to early…
I would of love to get to know him but this was so sudden. Took all of us off guard. What I can do is to ask God to make sure that Mike find peace and that he finally look over his two sisters that miss him so much and help them finding ways to realize that he is relieved from all the silent pain that he went through over the last few years…

Take care, Love Debbie and Lee.
