Michael ANDREWS Obituary
December 31, 1949 – December 5, 2013
Beloved father of Jennifer Andrews (Christopher Presley). Cherished grandfather of Brianna Payne. Loving son of the late Edward Andrews (1979); Betty (Clifford) Stewart of Windsor; and late stepfather Donald Latrobe Stewart (1999). Adored brother of Vicki Cunningham, Patricia Byrne, both of Kitchener. Will be sadly missed by many nieces and nephews. Mike was a recently retired ironworker and was someone who was passionate about living his life to the fullest. He had two custom Harleys that he loved to ride with his many friends and together they took many long and interesting road trips. He loved to travel and was always on the move whether it was for work or for pleasure. He had a heart of gold and was always helping others. His unwavering cheerfulness, optimism and wit will stay with us forever. Mike was one of the truly great guys with old school values - family and friends were central to his life - and his passing leaves a huge hole in all of our hearts. He was the very best of men. If you so desire, donations to the Lung Association would be appreciated by the family. Visiting Sunday 7-9pm, Monday 2-5pm and 7-9pm. Celebration of Michael's life Tuesday 10am at

We met Mike just a few years ago here in Mexico. Mike and Ron roared into Los Amores on those Harley's and we all thought: "oh no!!!" How wrong we were! Mike was such a sweet sweet man, always smiling, always happy, would do anything for us. We missed him here last year. We are so sorry for your loss. He was the definition of a true gentleman.

I was Mike's house cleaner and thought he was the nicest man that I have cleaned for, such a gentleman and very kind. I'm sorry for your loss and may he rest in peace.

Mike, a true soldier. I have many great memories of our time together. Your spirit will live on in sharing all those great memories in the years to come. May you have the sun on your back, two fists in the wind, and the horizon teasing you farther down a great road.
Ride in peace Slick!

Mike will be missed by myself and family. I am his step brother who knew him since I was 16. He was always there when I just wanted to talk. He lived life to the fullest.

On behalf of all patients and staff of Pulmonary Rehab at Hotel Diue Grace Healthcare please accept our condolences from deepest of our heart.
We enjoyed Micheal's company for many good years and we were all inspired by his brave struggle with his lung condition. We will never forget him on his bike or hunting on ATV with oxygen tank on his back . He showed many other patients how to live his life in it's fullness inspite of his condition. We will all miss him!

What a sad day! I will never know a better person than Mike. He always had a smile and just being around him made me feel good. His upbeat attitude, even in times of distress, was admired by all. Mike will surely be missed by all who knew him. Rest in Peace.
