October 1, 1975 - March 29, 2013
On March 29th, Good Friday morning, Michael passed into Heaven peacefully in his sleep. God gave us this special person for a short time to love and enjoy. Michael joyously shared his love of music with everyone - singing and playing guitar. He had a mischievous laugh, loved to tell jokes and enjoyed a good pun. He sang in several choirs and enjoyed being involved in music worship at Kamloops Alliance Church.
Michael worked at World of Music with his parents until the store was sold. Then he applied his talents to webpage design and CD production. In 2003 Michael co-wrote the song "Share the Vision." Along with the 'Summit Drive Band' he performed it for the opening ceremonies of the BC Special Olympics 2003 and it was used as their theme song throughout that year. He wrote many songs and performed in concerts, family events and other productions.
We will all miss him, however we know that he can now see, he can jump and run, and all his pain is healed. He is probably learning to drive a car, but most of all, he will be singing joyously in God's choir. His last posting on facebook was "All Glory Belongs to my Saviour. All glory belongs to Him!"
He is survived by his parents Wilfred and Jane Epp, one grandmother, many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
The Celebration of his Life will be held on Saturday, April 6, 2013 at 11:00 a.m. at Kamloops Alliance Church, 233 Fortune Drive. Everyone is welcome.
