rest in peace mick

Dear Karyn- So sad to hear of Mick's passing. What a cool and crazy guy!!! I always recall how much laughter was involved when Mick and Richard McConnel got together. RIP from Australia- Hugh & Judi.

So many years, so many laughs, so many crazy good times, will miss you Mick.  Karyn and family, thoughts are with you.

Our deepest condolences to you, Karyn, and your family. The wonderful photo tribute to Mick shows a life well lived. Thank you for sharing it.

Beautiful tribute, my sincere condolences Karyn and family, Rest in Peace Mick

Our sincere condolences to Karyn and family on the loss of Mick.   He will certainly be missed.for His conversation over beer or 2 and his smile and friendship although short in time will be long in memory.

So sorry. I remember Mick from many years ago at “ The Lake “when I was friends with his sister Valerie.

We will miss you Mick, enjoyed many great times over the years. Hanging with you at Laclu and Huatulco will always be remembered. Gary especially enjoyed the heated discussions he had with you resolving local and world issues. Jen always enjoyed your big smile and great sense of humour. We will remember the many good times and will miss you.

Our condolences to Karyn and family,

Karyn, Andrew, Melissa, Ian, Zita & Alan, you are all in our thoughts as you navigate the weeks and months ahead without Mick. I’ve been friends with Karyn & Mick for about 50 years now and am so happy to have many wonderful memories spanning the decades with this fabulous group of friends. Most recently all the great times in Huatulco come to mind, with Mick always front and centre ready to party with his container of jello shots! That Salsa dancing competition with him is also a highlight for me! We will all miss him and his fabulous smile!

Karyn, Andrew & Melissa , Ian & Zita,  our sweet grandson Alan, Family & Friends 

I am so glad I got to meet Mick at Ian & Zita's wedding. The video simply confirms what I sensed then. His smile says it all.

 When Zita would return from holiday's at the lake with Karyn and Mick she was always happy and spoke fondly of the meals together, reading on the deck and porch, boating, games and peaceful enjoyment.  

May you all feel his light in this dark time.

Karyn, although it has been a "few" years since we have seen one another, I want to tell you how sorry I am for your and your family's loss of Mick. I have many fond memories of times shared at Laclu, parties, and some fine arguments with Mick about ridiculous things, as we were both so stubborn - but always ending with a laugh and and a drink. I can still hear his laugh. May his memory always be a blessing

Karyn, so many laughs and good memories to hold onto.  We will all miss those twinkling eyes and curmudgenly smile.  Much love and warm thoughts to you, Ian and Andrew and the family.

Mick (& Karyn) gave us the greatest gift we’ve ever received and we are forever indebted. He will not be forgotten.

What a beautiful tribute to Mick, Karyn, we will all miss him, just know we are thinking of you , knowing how hard this is for you and your family.

Thinking of you Karyn and missing both of you here in Hux. Things truly aren't the same without you both. Take care.

Karyn and family, in this time of sorrow may there also be moments of quiet reflection and soothing cherished memories to bring you comfort, peace and strength. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Awww Karyn...the one putt we wanted him to miss...damn. If walls could speak...peace, love and strength to you and the family.

Mick and Karen, our Huatulco family! Mick with the great smile, great eyes and a laugh to get the party started. So sad to learn of his illness and passing, a shock to all. He will be missed. Condolences to the family.

many years and so many stories.. Most of which I can't tell on this forum.. Most do not know but he was also a standing member Doctor - That would be the group of us called " The Doctors of Golf".. and we had a hell of a great time. As I said, many memories and lots of stories to recall when we gather for our annual Father Day Classic (which had many times was hosted by the man at their cottage) The name of our gathering will now be called The Mik Gowenlock Memorial in his honor

God speed my friend, you will be missed

Karyn, I am so saddened to hear this news. So many flashbacks to the high school years and beyond with the both of you. My sincere condolences to you and your family.

Mick, what can I say? You were a force. You always, right to the end,  gave 100%. I met you and Karyn and the whole Ft Garry crowd in 1978. Truer friends are hard to find. So many parties, trips, babysitting swaps, and just hanging out. So much laughter! Where did the time go? So glad I was lucky enough to spend a good part of it with you and Karyn. I am really going to miss you my friend. "Hey Barbie, how's it going" is still in my ears. Till we meet again, keep smiling. ❤️

Karyn & family, I'm heartbroken to hear this news.  What a beautiful video of Mick's life.  My sincere condolences to you and the family.

My sincere condolences goes out to Karyn, Andrew and Ian.

I worked with Mike at Canadian Tool and Die for over 27 years and have many great memories.  I also had the pleasure of working with Andrew and Ian for a short while. Mike was a very kind soul and willing to help when it was needed.  Will miss that big smile.

Rest in peace Mike!

Karyn and family I am sorry for your loss.  I never did get the opportunity to meet Mick.  But I do have many memories of you Karyn and your Mom and Dad.   I feel your pain as my husband is battling cancer as well.   Hugs to you

Rest in peace Mike , I thanked Mike for the opportunity he gave me , I got a  job at CTD from his friends Barb and Eph, he didn’t even know who I was , but he didn’t care , he knew I needed a job that was enough for him, 25 years gone by and I am still here , thank you Mike ! My condolences to the family .

Beautiful video. May he Rest In Peace and golf and fish all day long.  Sending you my love Karen.

Ah, about Mick…. there are many stories - some of which ‘you had to be there’.  It was clear he and Karyn were on solid ground from their early days - the way he looked out for her and even participated in pre marriage ‘classes’.  Mick was determined and knew what he wanted - a life with Karyn.

Who can forget the great host and generous ‘spachals’’ Sundays in your Rec room … and sharing LacLu retreats with friends ?  Ski trips and lake adventures - cruising, singing, swimming - ah a carefree time we shared,

That is how I remember you - smiling, laughing, young at heart

forever.
