Michael WILMOT Obituary

Published by Vancouver Sun and/or The Province from Jul. 23 to Jul. 24, 2011.

WILMOT, Michael Henry July 7 1948 - July 6 2011 "You will always be my Pirate..." Born in Hamburg Germany, Michael is survived by many loving family and friends too numerous to mention. Michael lived in Malaya, Scotland and Montreal but North Vancouver and Qualicum Beach is where he shared his life with Nicola Cavendish for 32 multifaceted delicious years. The " Mayor" of East 11th Street, Michael was a fearless Rigger, an avid motorcycle enthusiast, fantastic mechanic and skilled Jack of all Trades. Full of life, Michael's love and non judgemental ways enriched and enlivened all he came in contact with. A Celebration of Michael's life will be held Sunday, August 14, 12 to 3:00pm, at Presentation House Theatre, 333 Chesterfield in North Vancouver. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Broadway Youth Resource Centre.

hello, I knew Mike since he came to Canada in 1965-6. We were friends in NDG and we went together to West Virginia in 1967. I moved to Van in late 67 and Mike came a while later, spring 68? He stayed with my family for a while, and we used to stay at an old cottage in Deep Cove. We had lots of fun around the Retinal Circus, etc, in those years. We sort of went different ways for a while, I moved to Prince George. I last saw Mike in spring '71 just before coming to England where I now live. I have often thought about him, and his mod clothes and string vests. Best wishes, Kevin Jones. This is how I looked then.

Marlene and I will be thinking of you both from 6,000 km away.

The wildest free spirit you will ever have met. So many laughs and adventures stolen. A brother of my heart. Funny, generous, TOTALLY non judgemental, creative, musical, witty, crazy, a friend for the ages. Thanks to fate I got to know him for nearly 40 years and share some unbelievable times. Nicky and all of us have been robbed but blessed to stand near the comet.

I was privileged to know Michael as Nicola's partner. I know he was her rock -- always supportive of whatever she did. Michael didn't judge, which is rare indeed. He was always quick with a laugh and a joke, and I am deeply saddened that he is gone.

My heartfelt condolences to Nicole and other friends of the 11th Street 'hood, for the sudden loss. This "brother" always enjoyed sidewalk conversations with the mayor-Michael and feel very fortunate to have known him.
