Memorial - Michael Philip
Friday, April 10, 2026 at 10:54AM “It’s not Mike… it’s Michael.”
We can still hear his voice—half serious, half laughing—whenever someone forgot to say his name in full. That was Michael. Full of character, always smiling, and never without a story to share.
He loved football. He loved his family deeply. And we all knew that if he wasn’t at the pub, he was with his dad or his sister in Nanaimo. In recent years, he made his home on his sailboat at the marina—a place he truly loved. Thetis Island wasn’t just where he lived, it was where he belonged.
Michael was a constant presence, a true friend, and part of the heart of the marina. His absence leaves a space that cannot be filled. Seeing his boat now, and feeling his absence, is something we carry together.
