Michael Ooyevaar Obituary

It is always difficult saying goodbye to someone we love and cherish. Family and friends must say goodbye to their beloved Michael Ooyevaar (Coquitlam, British Columbia), who passed away at the age of 64, on January 5, 2024. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.

He was predeceased by: his father Joe Ooyevaar.

Retirement provided Michael with an opportunity to do more of the things he loved; however, these times were cut short by the pandemic and his progressive failing health due to his renal disease in addition to his struggles with his mental health.

“Condolences to Mike's friends and family. Our story dates back to 1972 in Williams Lake, and our visits, phone calls and many laughs over the years as we dined at my place or a Bavarian Restaurant in New West, will never be forgotten. We tried to solve the world's many problems, traveled to a 30 year high school reunion, and sometimes argued over the simplest things. RIP Mike. Cheers, your friend, Rick.”

Clayton Shull, BSc wrote a sympathy message

“My condolences go out the Ooyevaar family. I first met Michael starting way, way back around 1968 when his dad constructed "Picus Building Supplies" right next door to my home on Mackenzie Ave., Williams Lake. We went to school together from Grade 3-12. He was always kind. A top student. 40+ years later, I met him at his condo in New Westminster. He was quite happy with his work, & being independent was very important to him. I only have good memories of Michael. I will never forget him.”
