Michael GOODEN Obituary

GOODEN, Michael Anthony December 1, 1975 - July 17, 2020 Although the time we had together was shorter than we knew, it was full to the brim of love, friendship, guidance and energy. We are all better people for having had Michael in our lives. He was the soulmate and best friend to Christine, guiding light to his sons Tyson, Carter and Jordan, loving son to Dinsdale and Alice and dear brother to Marlene (Hillman), Carl and Richard. He will be missed by brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, nieces, nephews, friends, neighbours and colleagues. Michael graduated from McMaster University where he pursued his love of football. This passion for sports continued with his boys and as they started to play sports themselves, he spent even more time with them coaching. He was so proud of all that they had accomplished. He gave back to his community in many ways, in particular, serving as an Officer with the Peel Regional Police since 2002. Our hearts are breaking that you are gone but so full of the love you left us. Drive-through Visitation will be held at Bay Gardens Funeral Home "William J. Markey Chapel", 947 Rymal Rd E, HAMILTON (905.574.0405) on Sunday, July 26, 2020 from 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. and from 3:00 - 5:00 p.m. Private Family burial at Mount Hamilton Cemetery.

I'd like to extend my most sincere condolences to Christine, her three boys and the entire family, at this time of great sorrow and loss. I didn't know Michael personally, but could just tell through my conversations with Christine what a remarkable father, husband and son he was, and what a significant and lasting impact he has left on his family members, co-workers, neighbours and friends. Michael can now rest in peace, but am certain he will continue to watch over and guide his loving family in the years to come. With deepest sympathies, Christopher

Michael was one of the first people I've met after coming to Canada in 90s. He was full of charisma and magnetism. He radiated with positivity and people simply flocked to him in hope to absorb some of his magical aura. I was so saddened after hearing of his passing. Deeply heartbreaking. My sincere condolences to Christine, his boys, family and friends

We are deeply saddened to learn of Michael's passing. Although we have not been in touch with him for quite a while, we knew him well, as a church member and student. We wish the circle of the Gooden family well, with the knowledge that God watches over and takes care of his children.We mourn his lost with you, for we too realize that the only thing worse than growing old, is to be denied the privilege.
