Michael Lorne Grant Saunders
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our husband, son, father and grandfather, Michael Saunders. Mike passed away peacefully on December 26, 2024. He will be greatly missed by his wife of 35 years, Cori and children Brittany (Brian) St. Louis and Cassy (Johnathan) Young and his grandchildren who were the center of his life: Ava, Jace, Owen and Hendrix. His absence will be felt by his mother, Tina Saunders-Reimer and siblings Judy Saunders-Penner, Carol (Ross) Wood, Gary (Lisa) Saunders, Kelvin (Brandi) Saunders and his many nieces, nephews and dear friends.
He goes up to meet those who predeceased him, including his father Lorne Saunders and sister Deborah Saunders-Pickunyk.
Born in Morden, Mike was loyal and hardworking. He enjoyed being part of a close community and would often be found visiting with or lending a hand or an ear to his neighbours. He worked for many years in farming and at the Stephenfield water treatment plant facility before being diagnosed with a degenerative neurological condition. Through the change in circumstances, Mike maintained his joy and sense of humor, finding fulfillment in the increased time with his family and friends. Mike would often be found in his yard watching nature, gardening or tending to and growing vegetables from seeds in his home. He enjoyed cooking and was always looking for new recipes to try. He was extremely proud of his grandkids and enjoyed spoiling them with treats and gifts and taking them for rides on his golf cart.
Mike was a dedicated husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend to many. We would like to thank all of those who have been a source of support and friendship for him over the years.
In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Boundary Trails Medical Centre rehabilitation facility.
The family will be holding a private service in the coming days.
