It is with heavy hearts that we bid farewell to our Mike, who gracefully departed from us on February 29, 2024. His passing leaves a void in our lives, but his legacy of love and kindness will forever remain with us. Mike is survived by his dog Sully, wife Sandra, children Taylor (Corey), Jacob and Annie, grandchildren Maximo and Ryan, siblings Kristine and Tony, and a large and loving extended family.
Mike was a remarkable individual, admired by all who knew him. With a sharp mind and a warm heart, he effortlessly touched the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing him.
His devotion to his family was beyond compare. He built a beautiful life, filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories. His unwavering commitment and devotion were evident in every facet of his life.
In his professional life Mike excelled. His expertise and dedication earned him the respect and admiration of colleagues and clients alike. He approached his work with precision and passion, leaving a lasting impact on the industry and specifically Victoria Shipyards.
Beyond his professional accomplishments, Mike was a man who enjoyed sports. Whether he was on the diamond pitching fastballs or swinging clubs on the golf course, his athletic abilities and competitive spirit shone brightly.
His other love was building his hot rods. He spent many hours and drank many beers while working on the Model A and the Falcon in the garage with friends.
Yet perhaps, Mike's greatest legacy lies in the abundance of friendships he cultivated throughout his life. His magnetic personality and genuine kindness endeared him to many. His absence will be deeply felt by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
So, here's to you, Mike. Thanks for all the laughs, the memories, and the love you shared with us. You might be gone, but you'll never be forgotten. We love you and will always miss you.
We would like to thank the doctors, nurses, care aids, volunteers, and staff at Victoria Hospice for the wonderful care you provided Mike. Donations may be made to Victoria Hospice.
A celebration of life will be held at Uplands Golf Club, 3300 Cadboro Bay Road, Victoria at 2:00 pm on Sunday April 7th.
