Despite his disability, Michael enjoyed and lived each day to the fullest, and never did he focus on himself, but rather on everyone else. He enriched and inspired all those who loved him and those whom he met. He attended St. Michael’s School and graduated from the Learning Assisted Program in 2009. He spent every summer at Camp Wannacombac and volunteered at the Esplanade. Michael will be remembered for his great love of playing video games and going out to the movies. He enjoyed community events and outings, as well participating in all the MD walks and fundraisers. His outgoing, loving and positive disposition was always evident. His quick and witty sense of humor, his inquisitive nature and need to ask questions will make all those who knew him smile. Michael truly inspired everyone he came into contact with. He will always be our shining star. A special mention of all his past and present care workers, Dawn, Marie, Debbie and Kera. Also, thank you to the Medicine Hat and Elkwater Fire Departments for all their home visits and the excellent work they do for the MD walks and fundraising events. Michael’s message to you is: “Don’t cry, be happy for me, as now I can do everything in heaven that I couldn’t do on earth”.
