It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Michael in Vancouver, BC.
Michael entered the kingdom of heaven on Saturday April 2nd and will be warmly greeted by his parents, Gerard and Lucy Morrissey, and his brother James Morrissey. Michael will be dearly missed by his siblings Bill, Allan, Lucy, Patrick, and his many nieces and nephews.
Michael struggled throughout his lifetime dealing with his Bipolar Disorder since the age of 15. He dealt with these struggles with grace, kindness, and humility toward everyone.
He had a great sense of humor and an extremely sharp wit which we all enjoyed. He had a very strong faith in God which sustained him in dealing with his many struggles. Michael spent the last 5 years of his life at Willow Pavilion at VGH. Many Willow staff members liked Michael and came to say their goodbyes to Michael which was a real testament to his kindness and sense of humor.
Michael, thank you for the positive impact you have had on our lives. Until we meet again in God’s heavenly kingdom.
A celebration of Mike’s life will be held at a Memorial Mass at St. Augustine’s Parish (2028 West 7th Avenue, Vancouver) on Friday, April 22nd, 2022 at 3:00 pm.
