MIKE POYSER
 
  Peacefully, on Thursday, October 27, 2016 after a two-year battle with Leukemia, Mike passed away at the age of 57 years. As was his wish, Mike was home spending his remaining time with people who meant the most to him.
   Remaining to forever cherish Mike’s memory are his wife Denise; daughter Miranda; step-son Christopher; brother Vaughan and wife Leah; sister Madelaine; nieces and nephews, Steven, Sammie, Pierre (PJ), Quinn, Caley, Lindsay and Becca; as well as many more family, friends and loved ones. He was predeceased by his parents Lindsay and Evelyn Poyser; and sister-in-law Pat Benner.
   As an avid biker, Mike loved riding his bike year-round. He loved bonfires in the backyard with family and friends, working on his home, fishing on the banks of the rivers, and puttering in his yard and garden. Fall was Mike’s favorite time of year but he found joy in all the seasons.
   A Celebration of Mike’s Life will be held on Thursday, November 3, 2016 from 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. in ANAVETS #1, 1395 Ellice Avenue @ Empress Street.
