We wish to announce the passing of Dr. Michael "Mike" Eric Hahn, who died peacefully on September 30th. Mike grew up in North Bay, Ontario, where he met his wife, Lee, of 48 years. Mike was an accomplished doctor, having earned Doctor of Medicine, Biomedical Sciences, Internal Medicine and Gastroenterology degrees at the university of Western Ontario in London, Ontario. In 1985, Mike and Lee relocated to North Vancouver, where he became a predominate doctor at Lions Gate Hospital for over 35 years. He has four wonderful children - son Chris (deceased); daughter Kim, with her two sons with Kevin, Cole and Lennox, and her blended family with partner Shawn and son James; son Andrew and his wife Stephanie with granddaughter Kira; daughter Ashley and her husband Brandon with two granddaughters Maya and Mataya. He also had four siblings - Eileen, Donna, David and Helene. Mike had many hobbies, including gardening, fishing, boating, golfing and playing games with his grandchildren. The family spent many years together at their lake home in West Kelowna. Mike was always kind, very generous, loving and loyal. He will be truly loved and always missed by his family and friends.

I have just recently heard of the passing of Dr Hahn. With a very sad heart i want to pass along my condolences to Lee and all the family. Dr Hahn always listened to your concerns, had a great bed side manner and i truly felt blessed to have him as my doctor since late 80 ties. The last time i saw him , he said he was going to retire. You touched many peoples lives, and mine you touched immensely, as you were always kind , caring and shared your great sense of humour. Thank you

Dr Hahn was first to diagnose and treat an ongoing problem I had, in 2019. I’ve been doing well ever since his treatments.
I quite enjoyed our (non-medical) conversations.
I was quite saddened to read of his passing, 14 months after it happened.

I just learned that Dr. Michael had passed. Such a deeply sad feeling I have for all who knew him. He was such a rock and I´m so sorry for the heartbreak I know his family is feeling.
He took beautiful care of me for over 25 years, encouraging me through my colitis...a wonderful combination of deep intelligence and compassion...and a bit of humour too. I´ll miss not only his medical care...I always enjoyed talking with him. He always seemed to have some deeply solid advice regarding the importance of family, always so encouraging about keeping positive about how to bring up my children.
We spoke of his son Chris´s passing. I´m certain when Michael passed Chris was waiting to greet him in heaven, wildly waving and cheering, "Come this way!". I can see Dr. Michael smiling now

I was saddened to hear of Dr. Michael Hahn's passing. My sincerest sympathy to all his family. Not only did I receive many years of excellent medical care from him but he always had time to talk about the importance of family, as a close colleague of his was my brother Charles.

I worked with Mike for many years at LGH, and appreciated his thoroughness and intelligence and humour. He gave so much of his time as so many physicians do to the caring of others. I´m sorry for your loss in your family.
