Obituary of Michael Wade

It is with profound sadness we announce the passing of Michael, at age 73, on August 19, 2021. Michael was the dearly cherished husband and soulmate to Lorraine and beloved father to Jonathan (Heather). He is also survived by his sister, Dianne, and brother, John.

Michael spent most of his career at Statistics Canada. In retirement, Michael and Lorraine traveled through Asia, Italy, France, Switzerland, Ireland, Canada, and the USA. With their favorite annual trip to enjoy the oceanside in Ogunquit, Maine.

Michael loved his creative hobbies including wood carving, stained glass, and painting. Summers were filled with golfing, often with his regular group of buddies. He enjoyed his daily Ken-Ken, music, gardening, walking, cooking, good food and wine, and cruising in his sport car. In his youth, he enjoyed his motorcycles both on and off road.

We wish to express our thanks to Queensway Carleton Hospital D4 staff for the excellent care.

As per Michael’s request there will be a private service for immediate family.

In lieu of flowers,  please make donations to your local hospitals
