Michael Bain Obituary
Michael C. Bain, 53, of Cumberland, passed away unexpectedly Sunday, September 25, 2022. Born in Boston, MA, he was the beloved son of Ann (Casey) Bain of Cumberland and the late John J. “Jack” Bain. Michael was a lifelong resident of Cumberland and graduate of Southeastern Academy in Kissimmee, FL. He was a passionate New England sports fan and wore his colors proudly – never missing a game, a good rivalry, or the opportunity to talk shop and share stats.
Mike was an incredible family man. A caretaker to his parents and in tune with every sibling, nephew, niece and cousin – serving as the unwavering supporter and everyone’s greatest fan. He was proud to be Irish, proud to be witty, and very proud to be Bain.
Besides his mother, he is survived by his siblings, John “Jay” Bain and his wife Catherine; Kathy Farrell and her husband John; Maryann Marshall and her husband Marty; and Patty Bain Healy. He was “Uncle Mike” to John & James Bain, Jack, Ryan & Casey Farrell, Meghan, Brenna & Erin Marshall, Owen & Maggie Healy and two spoiled dogs, Fred & Gigi. And the best of friend to Matthew Hartley and cousins Cal Casey Jr and the late Paul Casey.
Relatives and friends are kindly invited to a Mass of Christian Burial on Monday, October 3rd at 10:00 AM in Saint John Vianney Church, 3609 Diamond Hill Road, Cumberland. Burial will be at Saint Ann Cemetery, Cranston.
Visiting hours are on Sunday, Oct 2nd from 1:00-4:00 PM in the O’Neill Funeral Home 3102 Mendon Road, Cumberland.
In lieu of flowers, a donation in Mike’s name to Cystic Fibrosis would be greatly appreciated.
