It is with tremendous sadness we announce the passing of the most amazing, caring, and loving man we know.
On May 3, at home, surrounded by his family, Micheal Daniel Wright, “Dan,” to those who knew, and loved him, lost his courageous 16-month fight with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). During his battle, Dan was always quick to partake in any study/trial or experimental drug that came his way to assist in ensuring no one else had to go through the pain he did. Dan always put others first and did everything humanly possible to help others.
Dan is survived by his loving wife of 40 years, Frances, Daughters Natasha, (Richard) Samantha, and Brittany, his son Joshua, (Ashley.) His grandchildren Kealan, Sophie, Hailey, Liam, Callum, Cillien, and Madelyn. His Father Douglas, and three sisters Ileana, (Donald) Krista, (Coby) and Shaylyn. Two brothers Kenneth (Karen) and Brett. He also leaves his loving mother-in-law Marguerite and step mother-in-law Roberta and sisters-in-laws Diane, Sue, (Art) Nancy (Tim) and Karen (Dennis) and many nieces and nephews.
When Dan wasn’t in the hospital, he would spend his time doing what he loved with his loved ones, fishing on the Vedder River, walking Mill Lake, or playing with his grandbabies.
Dan was an active member of the Masons, Abbotsford Lodge #70, and Past Grand Royal Patron, Order of Amaranth. Dan will be missed dearly by all who knew and loved him. Gone, but never forgotten.
Many thanks to Dr. Yasser Abou Mourad and the team at VGH BMT Leukemia unit as well as all those who donate blood, helping all cancer patients with the gift of life.
The family is in the process of setting up a group donation to assist in Leukemia Research. Any contributions to Frances Wright with the notation Leukemia project.
Due to the restrictions in place because of the Covid-19 virus the memorial will be held once restrictions are lifted, notifications will be posted to “Dan’s leukemia group” on Facebook.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Micheal Daniel Wright July 6 1953
