MALE, Michael George Male -
(May 28, 1940 – March 14, 2024)
Mike passed away peacefully at the of age 83 in the early hours of March 14, 2024 surrounded by his loving family by his bedside.
Born in 1940 during the war, Mike was the only child of Annie and George Male and spent much of his childhood between London and Mirfield in the UK.
An avid Arsenal supporter and novice Jr player himself, Mike made the difficult decision to pursue a career in Civil Engineering over football. As it happened that fortunate decision soon led him to meet Christine (nee Hawkes) in 1967. After a short courtship the two married in 1969 and began their life together in Canada where they were blessed by two wonderful children: Stephen and Cathy.
In 2017, Mike and Christine relocated from Pickering to Wilmot Creek where they were both very happy having found a sense of community amongst new friends and neighbours.
He is survived by his wife Christine; his son Stephen (Nicole); his daughter Cathy; his grandchildren: Madelaine, Audrey, Alexandra, and Myles, as well as his cousin Richard (Marnie).
The family would like to thank Durham Homecare and Ed’s House Hospice in Cobourg. We have such gratitude for the compassionate care Mike and the family was shown in his last days.
Mike passed in contentment surrounded in the love of his family.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be provided to either Ed’s House Hospice Care Centre (Cobourg) or Marigold Hospice Care (Clarington) to support the development of more hospices in the area that will support other families loved ones pass with compassion, care and dignity.
