Michael Deviaene
July 25, 1958 - April 22, 2015
MICHAEL HOWARD DEVIAENE
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Michael at the Victoria General Hospital on the evening of Wednesday, April 22, 2015.
On July 25, 1958 Michael was born to Stephen and Jeanne Deviaene. He was a beloved son, brother and uncle. He is survived by his parents; six siblings; numerous nieces and nephews as well as a large extended family.
Michael lived a simple life, but he was not a simple man. His interests were many and his knowledge diverse. He was, in fact, very much a renaissance man who enjoyed photography, the beauty of nature and artistic human endeavors. Michael was a craftsman and made his living as a builder of fine, heirloom quality furniture.
In September, 2014 Michael was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Over the past few months, he fought the disease stoically, stubbornly and rarely with a complaint.
At Michael?s request, there will be no service. For everyone who knew Michael, please take a few moments in your day to think of him. Surely, if there is a heaven he will be busy building benches (or futons) for everyone to sit on.
