It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Michael James Power of Victoria, British Columbia, who left us on April 27th, 2025. Michael’s departure has left a profound void in the lives of his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him. His presence, his laughter, and his unwavering kindness will be sorely missed but never forgotten.
Michael was a man known for the joy and light he radiated. Whether you knew him for a moment or a lifetime, his warmth left a lasting impression. His smile was infectious, his generosity boundless, and his compassion deeply felt by everyone who crossed his path. He had a gift for bringing people together, always the first to offer support, a listening ear, or a word of encouragement when it was needed most.
He lived his life with purpose, humility, and a love for others that shaped the very essence of who he was. Michael had a way of making people feel seen, heard, and valued. He believed in the power of community and in the strength that comes from connection and kindness. Those close to him often describe him as a gentle soul with a fierce love for his family, loyal to his friends, and a man of integrity and heart.
In the days since his passing, the outpouring of love and remembrance has been immense. Stories are being shared—funny anecdotes, heartfelt memories, and quiet moments that meant everything. Each one is a testament to the life Michael lived and the impact he made. The Power family is incredibly grateful for this support and the sense of unity it has fostered in their time of grief.
To honor Michael’s memory, his loved ones are organizing a Celebration of Life—a gathering that will reflect the beautiful person he was and the incredible life he lived. It will be a time to remember, to mourn, and to celebrate together. As part of these efforts, a fundraising initiative has been launched to help make this tribute as meaningful as possible.
If you knew Michael or if his life touched yours in some way, the family invites you to contribute to the memorial fund. Your support will go directly toward creating a space where stories can be shared, tears can be shed, and love can be felt in his honor. Every gesture, large or small, is deeply appreciated.
In these difficult times, please hold the Power family in your hearts. Their loss is profound, and while no words can ease the pain, your thoughts, prayers, and support bring them comfort and strength. Michael’s spirit will continue to live on in all who loved him—and in the kindness we extend to one another in his memory.
Rest in peace, Michael James Power. Your light will never dim, and your legacy will endure.
