Michael "Mike" Bizier
1950 - 2018
BRUNSWICK - Michael "Mike" Bizier, 67, passed away after a long neurological illness on Sunday, Aug. 19, 2018. He was surrounded by his family.
He was born on Oct. 14, 1950 in Waterville, the son of Wallace and Yvette Bizier.

An avid lover of the outdoors, he enjoyed fly fishing, cutting his own firewood, gardening, and took pride in everything he built, including his family's home in Winslow. He was a member of Trout Unlimited and loved tying his own flies and spending time fishing all over the state of Maine, especially at the family camp in Rangeley. He was a passionate New England sports fan and spent many evenings cheering on the Red Sox, Patriots, Bruins and Celtics.
He was a devoted father, grandfather, and husband who loved cheering on his kids at sporting events and spending time with his three grandchildren.
He is survived by his wife, Evelyn "Cricket" Bizier; son, Nick Bizier; daughter, Katy Bizier; daughter, Jen Kellerman; daughter-in-law, Briana Bizier; son-in-law, Jon Kellerman; grandchildren, Sage, Ian, and Isaac; brother, Paul Bizier and spouse, Linda; brother-in-law, Brian McCowan and spouse, Patsy; brother-in-law, Bob McCowan and spouse, Laurie; and sister in-law, Sue McCowan and spouse, Guy Johnson; as well as many nieces. He is also survived by his faithful dog, Nessie.
