Mick was a kind and gentle soul who was loved by all who knew him. He especially enjoyed his time here in Cape Breton with his best friend and companion, Jackie. Mick was also a very talented artist and as a pastime he enjoyed writing poetry, sketching and painting.
He is survived by his longtime partner, Jackie; her daughter, Trixie; her children, who affectionately called him “Poppy Mick,” Mia, Dillon and Chandler; brothers, Donnie, Angus, Earl; sister, Joanne (Ed) Provoe; sisters-in-law, Regie (Allan) Jones, Leslie (Blair) MacDonald, Glenda, Dolena (David) Hart, Elaine (Allan) MacDonald, Cheryl, Kay (Herb) King; brothers-in-law, Billy, Stevie and John T; numerous nieces and nephews.
Besides his parents, he was predeceased by brothers-in-law, Gordie and Kenny, father-in-law, Fabian (Florence) Boutilier.
