December 25, 1986 - November 29, 2022
In loving memory ~
Michael Ian Roberts (Mike), devoted father, treasured son, cherished brother, and loyal friend passed unexpectedly on November 29th, 2022 at the far too young age of 35. He is survived by his son, Logan, and daughters, Rylee, Paisley, and Henley, as well as his beloved mother Louise, father Rick, brother Alan, and sisters; Amber and Elysia.
Born December 25th, 1986, Mike was an avid and lifelong outdoorsman. From early lessons fishing and hunting with his dad, to fond memories of his uncle George, and grandfather Harold (both deceased), to the pride of sharing his passion with his own children.
Mike was in his element in the outdoors. Whether it was on the choppiest waters, balancing easily over acres of cut logs, or in a duck blind with a faithful bird dog, Mike was at home. An athlete from an early age, Mike's other great passion was rugby, which was evident every time he played. Fearless, tenacious, and quick on his feet, he was a true presence on the pitch. Most recently he had been sharing his skills, coaching the Junior Boys at the Cowichan Rugby Football Club.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the CRFC Junior Rugby program by e-transfer to juniortreasurer@cowichanrugby.ca, or cheque to 1860 Herd Rd, Duncan, B.C., V9L 5W4.
A celebration of life will be scheduled at a later date.
