Dear brother to Suzanne Lizowski (David), Réal Benoit (Gaëtane). Pre-deceased by his parents Roger Benoit and Jeannette Allard, his brother Guy, and sisters Nicole and Lise. Mike also leaves behind many cousins, nieces, nephews, and special friends.

He was a man who touched the lives of many with his warmth, kindness, and quiet strength. Mike spent most of his life in the automotive industry, working in sales, management, and as a dealer. He had an exceptional gift for connecting with people and making them laugh. Mike was an attentive listener who made everyone feel heard and valued. Above all, what truly mattered to him was the love of his family and friends.
