It is with profound sadness that I have to announce the passing of Mike, the love of my life. After his long battle with Parkinson’s, he died peacefully in my arms - my heart is broken.

He will be dearly missed by his son Brent (Nicola) in Bermuda and grandchildren Jordan, Connor and Julia; daughter Arden (Craig) in Seattle and grandchildren Kai, Mila, Lola, Leika and Kalei; son Cameron (Karen) in Delta and grandchildren Lila and Eli; his sister Pam (Ros) in England; his brother Kit (Kath) in Victoria; his cousin Kerry (Terry) in Powell River; as well as other family and friends especially, Walter “Chic” in Calgary.

Now we shall cherish our memories of a kind, gentle and warmhearted man of principle, whose smile would invite sharing and caring and welcome everybody into his orbit.

…And my soul spread its wings wide
Flew through the quiet land as if it were flying home…

~ J.v. Eichendorff

A celebration of life will be announced at a later time.

Farewell, Michael! I will love you forever!

~ Ulli
