Michael, 25 had a great love for children, especially his daughter, nieces and nephews. He dedicated a great amount of his life to them. Michael loved to travel and lived in many big cities across Canada during his short years. He was born with a natural talent to do hair and makeup many people would consult him for weddings, social gatherings and pageants. Anyone who met Michael was drawn to his energetic loving soul. He brought so much joy, love and laughter to everyone who knew him. Michael was an organ donor. Even after death, he is bringing joy and love in the people’s lives that he saved. We, his family, will forever be proud of his selfless decision to always help others. He will be sadly missed by all who knew him especially his daughter, Riley Nevaeh.
