Michael’s Obituary
Roache, Michael Wade- 59, Shelburne, passed away tragically on December 01, 2019 on Highway 17 in Raith, Ontario. Born November 15, 1960, to David and Charlotte Roache in Hamilton, Ontario, he called Shelburne, Nova Scotia his home for the better part of his life. As a young man Mike went to live with his brother in Winnipeg and his love and career of trucking started. Fast forward to a 43 year career in the transportation industry, and becoming well known across the USA and Canada for being able to get the job done and parking the truck in places people would say “wasn’t possible”. Mike called home to many companies over the years, including Brookville, Laidlaw, Global, Clarke, Day & Ross, and back in the day Donnelly Farms etc., but was calling TDR Transportation his final truck stop and road family. Mike had other passions when he wasn’t driving. He was an avid car man and loved to enter his vehicles for show which all started with a 1973 Challenger in his teens and ended with a 2016 Challenger. He also had a love of music and was a fine guitarist that cherished his several beautiful instruments. Mike was also an animal lover and spoiled his family pets, Shelby, Reggie and Diesel. He is survived by his high school sweetheart and partner, Paulette Atwood; son, Steven (Sara); mother Charlotte, and extra special niece Kristen Roache; sons, Dale and Mike. Mike also loved his little buddy Axle which kept him young at heart. He was predeceased by father, David Sr, brothers, David Jr. and Robert. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, February 8th, at 2pm in H.M. Huskilson’s Funeral Home, 58 Bulkley Street, Shelburne with Pastor Joanne Ozon officiating. Family flowers only please. Memorial donations may be made to Animals in Need, in care of Brandi Perry, RR#3 Shelburne, Nova Scotia, B0T 1W0. You may sign the guest book at:www.huskilson.net
