Obituary of Mike O’Connell
O’Connell, Michael Ralph
Halifax
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Mike in Halifax, on February 1st. Born in Halifax he was the son of the late Carl (Bud) and Inge O’Connell. Michael / Mike / Mickey grew up in Halifax and was a wonderful son, brother and friend to all that knew him.
Mike was loved and adored by his “other” family at Metro Community Housing including the staff and housemates at The Chelsea and Parkland. He spent his time swimming, listening to music, eating cheeseburgers, going for coffee, telling stories and making the staff laugh every day. He was described by all as sweet, kind, and his smile and laugh would light up any room.
Mike was an amazing man and absolute light in the life of everyone who were lucky enough to be touched by it. Surviving are his brothers Frank and Gary, and sister Catherine (Rob), and his nieces and nephews.
A service will be held at a later date. In the meantime, please enjoy a cheeseburger in his honour.
Donations in his memory can be made to Metro Community Housing Association.
Funeral Services are under the care and direction of J. Albert Walker Funeral Home, 149 Herring Cove Road, Halifax, NS.
