Michael COMMONS Obituary

MICHAEL 'MIKE' COMMONS 1961 - 2023 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Mike, beloved husband, father, son, uncle and friend, who passed away on February 24, 2023, after a courageous battle with cancer. Mike leaves behind his wife and best friend, Grace; two sons, Dylan and Conor; brothers, Seamus (Brenda) and John (Mary); sisters, Bernie (Tom) and Dolores (Michael). Mike was a kind and gentle soul who gave far more than he took and was taken from us way too early. Adored by his sons, as well as his nieces and nephews, nothing meant more to Mike than Grace and his two boys, of whom he was immensely proud. Born in Co. Meath, Ireland, he immigrated to Canada with his beloved Grace in 1987. Mike started his ambitious career at Altus Group in 1989 and spent the next 33 years with the company, most recently as President, Cost Consulting and Project Management. He made immeasurable contributions to the Canadian commercial real estate industry throughout his 30+ year career. He helped shape the growing skylines across Canada's major cities by influencing the development of monumental construction projects. His professional legacy will live on, carried forward by the many colleagues and clients whose careers have been mentored and inspired by Mike. His warm and gentle presence will always be with us, and he will be greatly missed. Friends may call at the Turner & Porter Yorke Chapel, 2357 Bloor St. W., on Thursday, March 2, 2023 from 5-9 p.m. A Funeral Service will be held in the Chapel on Friday, March 3, 2023 at 3 p.m. Online condolences may be made through: www.turnerporter.ca

Incredibly heart wrenching to hear about Michael. You are a wonderful family and we enjoyed having you as neighbours and friends for so many years. Far too early for anyone to pass, but more so for the really good ones! Our prayers are with you and the boys Grace.
We are sad we can´t be there to celebrate Michael´s life, but we are out of the country.
