Michael passed into the arms of Jesus at 64 years young on Monday, May 22, 2017 surrounded by his family and friends following a most complex medical case including endocarditis, cancer and much more which he fought valiantly without complaint.

Michael was born in Vancouver to Irene Lucy and Roy Alan Dow, leaving his loving devoted wife of 35 years, Theresa Marie; daughter, Crystal Higgins (Brian); grandson, Harvey Blair Higgins; and son, Shaun Alan Dow. Survived also by his father; sister, Diane Johnston (Ken); brother, Jeff (Deby); and sister-in-law, Donalda Marshall (Alan). Lovingly missed by numerous relatives and faithful friends.

Heartfelt thanks to Drs. Buczkowski, Yun, Klimo, Swetlikoff, Giap & Drs in different disciplines. Sincere gratitude to all the hospital staff in every department from VGH, RH and SD Proton Ctr.

We thank all the priests, religious and prayer teams who supported Mike through this amazing journey.
