Obituary
It is with great sadness that following a brief illness, Michael Philip Turner (Mike) passed away on Saturday, August 13, 2022 at the age of 76 with his wife and daughters by his side.
Born in Peterborough, Ontario, to parents (predeceased) Philip and Joyce Turner, Mike was an extremely devoted husband and father, always putting his girls first. He will be forever in the hearts of his wife Sonia of 52 years, daughters Tori (Rob) and Chrissy (Ray), and granddaughters Maddy, Pippa, Lilly and Poppy.
He will also be missed by his sisters, brother, cousins, brother and sisters in-law, nieces, nephews and many dear friends around the world.
Mike had an extremely rewarding career in Themed Construction Management which provided him the fortune to travel extensively, doing a job he loved with the love of his life, Sonia.
Although Mike spent many years living away from Canada, his heart was never far from his cottage on Lake Catchacoma. This was where he returned each year and spent his summers of too short of a retirement. Throughout his life he never missed a summer; swimming, canoeing, fishing and relaxing in his hammock… provided he wasn’t busy puttering around, as there was always a project on the go. His family takes comfort in knowing they will always feel his presence at the lake.
The funeral will be on Friday, August 19 at 1:00pm at St. Jude’s Anglican Church in Oakville, Ontario. Visitation will be at the church from 11:30am – 12:30pm before the service.
The family sends a special thank you to the nurses and doctors at Milton District Hospital for their care and compassion.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the Canadian Red Cross in Mike’s memory would be sincerely appreciated by the family.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Michael Philip Turner May 20 1946 August 13 2022..
