Klowny, A nickname given to Michael in crib at safe Harbor games. He was always fun and made us laugh so much. I am sorry I just heard about this when I went to wish him a happy birthday. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Charlene, I’m so sorry to hear about the loss of your brother Michael. My heartfelt condolences to you and your son Tyler at this difficult time.

We are so shocked to hear of Michael's sudden passing. He was always to happy to see us when we came to visit Derek. He has a special place in our hearts for taking Derek under his wing and brightening his day with playing the "Wonky Donkey" video on his phone for Derek as well as other songs. His memory will live on in our hearts. Our very deepest sympathies to Charlene, Tyler and family.

Charlene, I’m sorry to hear about the passing of your brother Michael. Thinking of you with sympathy and praying for the strength you’ll need to get through these tough times.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Sending many hugs God Bless You. Howard and Charlotte Siebert

Hearing of Mikes passing was a shock to say the least. He was always smiling and loved kidding around and he always had kind words for anyone who would stop by to visit with him. My heart breaks for you both Charlene and Tyler, may peace come to you in your memories ❤ sending love & hugs

Charlene & Tyler, I’m so sorry for the loss of your brother & uncle. Sending you all my thoughts, prayers and love!

Charlene and Tyler So sorry for your loss of Michael May he Rest In Peace

Micheal and I took great joy in teasing each other about who had the better football team. I’m a Rider fan he loved the BC Lions. He was such a pleasure to know and talk to and we always shared the same love of music!! He will be greatly missed! My condolences to the family during this difficult time!!

Micheal was a great guy with a great smile. It was pleasure to know him. He will be greatly missed.

Charlene and Tyler So sorry for the loss of Michael. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

Michael stopped by our desk in the Adult Program everyday to remind us to read the daily positive messages. We had fun with what some said and it always brought about more conversation. We celebrated Michael's birthday with a cupcake, noise makers and presents. He pretended to be embarrassed but was quite touched. I will miss his daily visits and his quirky sense of humor, he always had a t-shirt, video or song to share with us. Michael was very special and will be deeply missed. So sorry for your loss. My condolences to the family.

I first met Mike through his sister Charlene as her and I became friends in high school. I loved his sense of humour even though he liked to taunt me about my love of the Roughriders and I just gave it right back to him about his beloved BC Lions. I will miss visiting him when I come to Regina. It just won’t be the same without that stop. Rest In Peace Mike and take care of Charlene and Tyler from up above.

Mike and I first met as young kids living in Gladmer Park and attending Peart School. He was always a happy and friendly person and a good friend to all. He will be missed by all who knew him. My sincerest condolences to his sister Charlene & family. Rest In Peace Mike.
