It is with deep sadness that the family announces that Michael Aana McCartney passed away peacefully in his sleep on Wednesday October 14th, 2020. He was predeceased by his father Ave, mother Mabel and son Will and is survived by his wife Paddy, sisters Terry(Ken), Barb(John) and brother Bill (Julie) daughter Michelle (Charlie) and son Ross, daughter-in-law Mindy, step children Marina (Mark), Mark (Kathrina) and Kurt, grandchildren Jaymz(Chrystal), Chris, Carli (Dylan), Katie (Brandon), Brad (Ashley). Alyssa, Cole, Griffin and Mia and great-grandchildren Riley, Ezra, Avery, as well as many nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.
Mike, as he was affectionately known, was born March 10, 1942 and had a typical post-war childhood where he excelled in sports and academics. In 1961 he married Jackie Allcroft and together started a young family, moving to several small towns throughout BC until he got his CA degree in 1972 and they settled in Ladner the following year.
In 1992 Mike started the next chapter of his life with Paddy Shuster and they settled in West Vancouver. By 2015 they downsized their house and he settled into semi-retirement, especially enjoying summers at the Shawnigan Lake cottage. Here family members would visit, creating many good memories, especially deep talks and competitive card games.
Mike was the patriarch of the McCartney clan, a big man with a big personality and a generous heart and he will be deeply missed.
There will be no immediate service due to the current situation and we ask tht in lieu of flowers a donation be made to a charity of your choice.
