My deepest condolences go out to Michelle, Allan, Audrey and all the rest of Mike’s family and friends.

Please pass our condolences to Audrey & Allen. We meet them this summer on the east coast bus trip and they are awesome people.. we were very sorry to hear of their son Mikes passing, our heart goes out to the family at this time.

Teena and I send our sincere and truly deepest sympathies to the sudden passing of Mike, we met mike and his family a few years ago , mike parked his boat at out dock here in Kipawa, Quebec, mike had a cottage on kipawa lake and spent his spare time there, as busy as he was. Mike always took the time to talk to us every time he came up to go to his camp, he will be missed, especially next spring when the lake opens up , it was always a pleasure to see him, he was a great guy, with a genuine smile, Rest In Peace Mike, Turtle narrows will never be the same without you.

I knew Mike when he worked for Marchand Const. In Midland. We would talk and joke around when he came to get lumber for a job they were doing. It was always a pleasure to see Mike again. At this time I would like to say that I’m very sorry to hear of his passing and would like to offer my condolences to his family. Mike will be missed by all that knew him. RIP Mike.

We are so sorry to hear of Mikes passing. Condolences to you, Josh and Brittney. Also our condolences to Allen Audrey and the rest of the family. He will be greatly missed.

Of all the people we gave met in Canada and around the world, Mike and Michelle are two of the very finest. To us, Mike has been a wonerful blend of smart, skilled, kind, gentle, thoughtful, generous, humorous, honorable and modest. His great joie de vivre always shone through and lifted our spirits. Our sadness will never end, but is tiny beside the loss to his family. My brothers Mike and Al (Murray), and our kids Nick and Samantha, join us in wishing that Mike’s family find some solace in the wonderful person that he was.

We are sending our deepest sympathies to Michelle, Josh, Brittany, Allan, Audrey, Mikes siblings and other family members. Even as a young boy, Mike was a special person with an ingrained sense of responsibility and work ethic, a quiet sense of humour and an ever-present smile. He was a treasure, through and through. Your loss is great and we hold you in our hearts and prayers. Sending love and hugs.

My condolences to the families

I was deeply saddened with the news of Mikes passing. He was a true gentleman, a good hearted citizen and his contribution to the Township of Matachewan was priceless. My thoughts and prayers are with Michelle and Josh and Brittany. Heaven has gained another angel. Sincerely Annie Kmyta

Mike and his parents, and Michelle and his larger family, welcomed us to Georgian Bay in 1983. He built our first boat and, along with his Dad Alan, helped us “settle” on our island and took care of our spring and fall hook-ups since. He was gracious and caring and shared many “tips” on island life – including where at least some of the biggest fish were. We lived in his land really – and we will miss him and be thinking of his family for many summers to come

Michelle, Josh and Brittany, As others have said, there are no words for moments like this! We are truly saddened to hear of Mike’s passing. Rest assured that Mike’s legacy will live on for many, many years on the Bay. Although we are out of the country, our thoughts and prayers are with you now and especially on Thursday. Our sincere condolences to you and the rest of family.

My heart goes out to Michelle, Josh, Brittany, Allan, Audrey and the extended family. Mike was a gem, a hard working, loyal and decent man. It was always fun to talk about anything and everything with Mike, he was so enthusiastic. I will miss him very much. G.

Michelle and All Your Family: I am truly sorry for the loss of Mike. His smile would always light up our day when he came to the store. The entire staff here will miss him. My heart is broken for you.

To Michelle, Josh, Brittany, Audrey, Allan and all Michaels siblings and spouses, please know our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

I was so sorry to hear of Mike’s passing. He was one of my favourite people to deliver to when I worked for McNabb Lumber. Mike always treated me with respect and I really enjoyed talking with him, especially our ongoing conversations about my Toronto Maple Leafs vs his Montreal Canadians. My thoughts are with his family.

It is with great sadness we are writing this condolence message. Our deepest condolences to Michelle, Josh, Brittany, Al, Audrey & extended family. We’ve only known Mike for a few years since he & Michelle moved to Matachewan but it seemed like we had known him for so many years. Mike was a man of true character. The first impression left a mark that would always be memorable. He had such a bubbly personality combined with kindness, respectfulness, happiness, and love for everyone he came in contact with. He was our shining star on Wednesday nights when we played darts. His joking and laughter was infectious and will be deeply missed. It was an absolute pleasure to have met Mike and his memory will be with us forever. May your hearts find healing with all the cherished memories of such a great man! We will miss you Mike. Love from Bernice & Joe XOXO
