Truly a loss for everyone who knew Mike. I worked with Mike at Ministry of Health and he was one of the most genuine and gentle people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. My thoughts are with the family.

I was deeply saddened to hear of my cousin Micheals sudden passing. The world is now a lesser place as a result of this for Mike had a larger than life heart which exuded compassion and kindness by the bucket loads and a sense of humour and laughter which was quite infectious in an awesome way! I will miss him dearly until we meet again and I feel very comforted by this during this time of great sadness. My Deepest condolences to all the DeVries family for their loss and we send much love your way.

I was deeply saddened to hear that Mike passed. Mike and I had the honour of being chosen to be godparents to my neice, Amy Fechter. Mike was the gentlest, kindest man and was well loved by our family. The world is a little less bright without him. My deepest condolences to Mike's loving family

My Heartfelt Sympathy to all the family in the loss of someone Special in their life.
I was one of the many privileged to have known Mike while working at the Ministry of Health. Truly a genuine guy, very kind, nice to chat with and of course have a good laugh.
I also share my sorrow with Mike's co-workers. I know you will miss his presence. We will all share a laugh with Mike again one day.

I am saddened to hear that Mike has passed. I met Mike at work and over the years we discovered we shared similar interests. He was honest, kind, generous, funny and a good friend. I regret not going to Cowichan lake to visit in the summer. Mike would do anything for others and never asked for anything in return. He had a good soul. See you on the beach My friend.

I worked with Mike for over 30 years and it was an honour and privilege. He had the biggest heart and was a very kind soul. I can still feel the big hug I got from him on my last day before I retired. I will miss him a lot especially his laugh and my thoughts are with his family during this very difficult time. RIP Mike

Extending our warmest and deepest sympathies to our Aunt Corine, Uncle Vincent and cousins Denise and Robert and their families. We were so saddened to hear of the sudden passing of Michael. His kindness, laugh and joyful personality is how we will remember him. I recall on family visits when I was younger Michael always had a little gift for me... it was so sweet. My heart is heavy knowing Michael is no longer amoung us but he will always have a special place in all our hearts. Sending our love and prayers to the family.

Mike was always the best person to brighten up the day. I walk in and look for him in the morning, knowing it was going to be a good day with laughter and jokes. I sure miss him in the office. My deepest condolences to all his family and friends.

A classmate and friend way back to Monterey Elementary. I remember countless hours with Mike and the gang at Windsor Park or the Oak Bay Marina or so many other childhood haunts. His sense of humour was as keen as his laugh was infectious.

I worked with Mike for many, many years; we were co-workers together in the trenches ducking the mortar fire of changing political landscapes, balancing client service with production needs, and navigating the fine line of interpersonal relationships and administrative hierarchy found in any office experience. Mike kept his humour and compassion, suffering fools with his dry wit and banter. He hurt whenever there was media news about human suffering. He had a heart as big as his stature if not bigger, and never lost his keen sense of fairness. We worked a lot of overtime together and while his health deteriorated he continued to give 100% inspiring me personally. Mike worked side jobs landscaping as a change from sitting at a desk and took great care and pride in his fastidious perfection making things neat, even if his desk wasn't. When my own lawnmower died he brought one over to my house for free. That's the kind of guy he was. I know you are sitting on a beach somewhere on the other side now, sipping a cool one, resting in peace, your merriment echoing for eternity.

I worked with Mike for many years and sat beside him for a long time before I retired. We had so many good laughs together. He always remembered to bring me some of hi mom's canned salmon. He was such a generous kind soul, never had a bad word to say about anyone. He will be sadly missed by all who knew him.

We met Michael through our friendship with his parents Vince and Corine. When we were in his presence it became obvious to us the warmth of family love.
Michael's passing is a great loss to the Devries family.
