Michael D. Bathurst

It's easy to say that everyone loved Michael. I was one of many friends that that had the opportunity to know him in High School. He was a free spirit with a kind heart and a infectious Smile. Michael was always honest with people and to himself. Rest in heavenly peace my old friend. My condolences to his family and friends.

It was a shocker seeing Mike's name in the paper; that's pretty much why I still buy it, to see who has died that I may know; that and the crossword. I have fond High School memories with Mike. He was a good buddy for a while there then he up and left! That was likely a good decision but he was missed. Time passes and I would think of him, and Sue, and wonder about their life "out west" I would see his Mom and Pop occasionally in Veterans Park and ask but its been years now... i am saddened...

I will always remember Mike as my best friend. We had so many good times together as kids from our days in middle and high school! He will be remembered as great friend who loved his parents and siblings. Mike was totally dedicated and in love with his best friend and wife Sue!! In a conversation we had a few months ago he expressed to me how proud he was of his children and their accomplishments. And how awesome it was that he and Sue were grandparents!

He will be missed by...

Mike and I were good buddies in High School. I always liked his mom and dad and am sorry his pop has outlived him; not supposed to go down like that. I remember he and Sue moving west and I'd think about them from time to time wondering how they were going. I was glad to see he had a family. I will miss him even more now that I know seeing him again is not an option... RIP Mike. My condolences Sue.
