We regretfully announce the sudden passing of Michael John Lavigne. As a lifelong resident of Kamloops, he loved and was loved by many. Mike was born on November 29, 1967, and passed away October 18, 2013.

He was a loving husband to his wife and best friend Carla, a devoted father to Tyson and Jacob and his 4 legged friends Khloe and Buddy. He also leaves behind his sister Donna (Mike).

He was a proud Local 170 Member for 20 years. So many lifelong friends, co-workers, extended family members will be lost without his smile and charm.

The family would like to invite you to a service to celebrate Mike's life in the Schoening Funeral Chapel on Sunday, October 27, 2013 at 1:00 p.m., followed by a Celebration of his Life / Reception at McArthur Island Sport Lounge.

In lieu of flowers, please support the Heart & Stroke Foundation, 729 Victoria Street, Kamloops, B.C., V2C 2B5 or the Kamloops S.P.C.A., 1211 8th Street, Kamloops, B.C. in memory of Mike.
