September 11, 1938 – January 17, 2023
at the age of 84 years:
It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Michael McBride on January 17, 2023, with family at his side.
Mike is lovely remembered by his stepdaughter Dawn, step grandchildren Andrew, Lisa, Emma, Carl and Cole, nieces Nicole and Gail, nephew Bert, extended family and special friend Mike Currie. Mike was preceded by his brother Hank, sister Sharon and stepson Ross.
Mike was born in New Westminster and grew up on a farm in Mud Bay, BC. His family were pioneers in farming and fishing. Mike fished the West Coast for many years with his wife Shirley on their boat. Mike retired to the beautiful Shuswap where he built his dream house for his beloved Shirley of 36 years who sadly preceded him.
Dawn would like to thank the wonderful nursing staff at Hillside Village for their dedication.
Mike was known for his quick wit and will be missed.
Sorry for your loss,I grew up knowing Mike,He worked in various sawmills and fished all over the coast with my dad Doug Airth.
My mom and I were just talking about him yesterday Prompted me to do a search.
I lost all contact with Mike and Shirley after my father passed.
Mike was a pretty cool dude
