Michael Weckworth

Weckworth, Michael Gerard, 58, passed away peacefully at home with his family by his side on May 14, 2021, after a brief but brave battle with cancer.

Michael was a devoted husband of almost 32 years and best friend to Traci (nee Sandrelli) and a proud and loving father to David (Moira) and Ashley. Michael was born June 29, 1962 in Pembroke, Ontario. Son of Fernande Weckworth (nee Huet) and the late Frank Weckworth and resided in Kanata, Ontario. Michael had a passion for reading and a thirst for knowledge which he shared with David and Ashley.

Later in life, he found joy in writing short stories and poetry where he excelled. He also loved the outdoors, with the perfect evening spent fishing on a quiet, calm river or lake, before sharing his joy for astronomy with his friends and family by teaching them about the skies and stars.

Michael is survived by his sister Susan Crigger (Robert) and his brothers Karl and Mark (Nora) and brother-in-law to Colleen Kenney, Chuck Sandrelli (Ellen), Mike Sandrelli (Lorraine), Pat Sandrelli (Joni), Elaine Noel (Bruce), Sheila Sandrelli, Trudi Wren (John) and countless aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and friends.

Very special thanks to his co-workers at Loblaws as well as the 4th floor staff at the Heart Institute for all their love and support.

Michael was a special man and will be dearly missed and his memories treasured forever.

Abiding Michael’s wishes, cremation has taken place. Arrangements entrusted to Tubman Funeral Home. A celebration of life will be held at a later date. Donations to Tranquil Acres Inc (www.tranquilacres.ca) in Michael’s name would be greatly appreciated.
