Kennelly Mike

Kennelly: Michael John,
Peacefully at Southlake Regional Health Centre Newmarket on May 18, 2022. Mike Kennelly at the age of 63 years, beloved husband of Margaret Kennelly (nee: Kelly). Loving father of Filomena (Joel Santos), and Brandon, and dear stepfather of Maria-Joao (Enzo Cerelli), and Jason O’Connell (Sarah). Sadly missed by his grandchildren Makayla, Siena, and Billy. Dearly loved brother of Colleen Feheley (Frank), his twin sister Maureen Curtin (Alfie), Thomas (Linda), Kathleen Almeida (Joe), Timothy (Jody), and Eileen De Courcy (Philip). Predeceased by his parents Mary and Timothy Kennelly. Fondly remembered by Margaret’s family: Dolores O’Connor (Aiden), Anne Delaney (the late Cecil), Martha Walsh (the late Shane), Elizabeth Corrigan (Oliver), Rosemary Carey (Donal), and Aunt Terry Tierney. Forever in the hearts of his nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family and friends in Canada and Ireland.
The family would like to thank the ICU Doctors, Nurses, and extended staff for their relentless compassionate care and dignity shown to Mike during his time at Southlake. A truly dedicated hardworking team… we are lucky to have them in our community.
The family will receive friends at Rod Abrams Funeral Home 1666 Tottenham Rd., Tottenham 905-936-3477 on Sunday May 22, 2022 from 4-7pm.

May the special memories you have of him and the support of family and friends bring you comfort during this time.

    Uncle Mike will be greatly missed by every member of our family. Myself and Hayden always felt so lucky to have Mike as an Uncle and have so many wonderful memories that we will treasure forever.
    He kept us all in constant laughter, always performing his favourite songs, playing his spoons, or telling his many stories and jokes. I remember many of our family gatherings waiting for Mike to arrive, always bringing so much laughter and energy to our home. The family won’t be the same without our Uncle Mike and we will miss him forever.
    We love him so much.
