Funeral Details: A Celebration of Mike’s Life will be held on Wednesday, July 16, 2025 at the Sheba Shrine Club (142 John Street, Barrie) from 1:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Peacefully, and with his loving family by his side, Mike passed away on May 24, 2025, in his 87th year.
Mike was the beloved husband of Diane (Hanna) for 65 wonderful years. Together they raised their three daughters, enjoyed their time cottaging at Brandy Lake, travelling, and spending their winters in Mexico. They were each other’s best friend, every day. Family was the most important thing to Mike, and no matter what the circumstance he always said, “whatever it is, we will get through it as a family”. And we will get through this too dad.
Mike was a loving and adored Dad to Cathy Smith (Boyd), Susan Stiff (Tom), and Kelly Wilson (Dennis). He was the perfect playful Grandpa (I’m not sleeping, I’m just resting my eyes!) to Meagan (Brendan), Jordan, Mitchell (Lindsay), Kayli (Dave), Andrew (Heather), Lexie (Alastair), Cameron, Clayton (Fadi), and best loved Poppa to 11 great grandchildren.
Special thanks to Dr. Stevens and Dr. Russell at RVH Cancer Care, and to the wonderfully caring staff at Hospice Simcoe.
