Michael naquit \u00e0 Peterborough, Ont., le 3 d\u00e9cembre 1980. Enfant, Michael \u00e9tait un bon gar\u00e7on, tr\u00e8s facile \u00e0 vivre et jamais ennuy\u00e9 par quoique ce soit.<\/p>\n

Michael acceptait la vie tel qu\u2019elle se pr\u00e9sentait et suivait le courant tout en appr\u00e9ciant chaque minute. Michael \u00e9tait un enfant de petite stature et fut souvent taquin\u00e9 \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9cole, mais il tenait toujours bon et gardait la t\u00eate haute. C\u2019est pendant cette p\u00e9riode que Michael d\u00e9veloppa une fixation pour les avions, en particulier les avions militaires.<\/p>\n

A l\u2019\u00e2ge de douze ans, Michael joignit les Cadets de l’Aviation locale, l\u2019Escadron Raiders 534 et continua avec eux jusqu’\u00e0 ses 18 ans. C\u2019est l\u00e0 qu\u2019il trouva sa vocation de vouloir \u00eatre dans l’Arm\u00e9e de l’Air.<\/p>\n

Adolescent l\u2019informatique devint l\u2019un de ses principaux hobbies, l\u2019utilisant aux fins d\u2019acqu\u00e9rir plus de connaissance sur l\u2019Arm\u00e9e de l\u2019Air et ses avions.<\/p>\n

Apr\u00e8s avoir termin\u00e9 l’\u00e9cole et les Cadets de l’Aviation Michael essaya de nombreux emplois diff\u00e9rents, mais son c\u0153ur n\u2019y \u00e9tait pas. A 25 ans il fut accept\u00e9 dans les Forces Arm\u00e9es Canadiennes, et le 1er octobre 2005, Michael commen\u00e7a sa formation de base. M\u00eame si cela n\u2019\u00e9tait pas son secteur pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9, c’\u00e9tait un pied dans la place dans l’espoir de plus tard \u00eatre transf\u00e9r\u00e9 \u00e0 la Force A\u00e9rienne. Poursuivre la carri\u00e8re pour laquelle il \u00e9tait destin\u00e9 illuminait son visage d\u2019un sourire.<\/p>\n

Un ami d\u2019enfance de Michael s\u2019\u00e9tait \u00e9galement inscrit et fut accept\u00e9 trois ans plus t\u00f4t. Quand Michael termina sa formation de base il fut envoy\u00e9 a CFB Petawawa pour enfin commencer ce qu\u2019il a toujours voulu faire. En m\u00eame temps, son ami d\u2019enfance fut \u00e9galement transf\u00e9r\u00e9 \u00e0 CFB Petawawa pour son second terme et formation. Leur amiti\u00e9 continua et on pouvait remarquer que Michael allait toujours au travail un sourire aux l\u00e8vres.<\/p>\n

Le premier cours de Michael fut d\u2019apprendre \u00e0 conduire le LAV 3. Cela semblait \u00e9trange vu que Michael n\u2019avait m\u00eame pas le permis de conduire pour la voiture.<\/p>\n

Michael \u00e9tait aussi amateur de plaisanteries, et \u00e0 son tour on lui faisait beaucoup de farces, l\u2019une d\u2019entre elles \u00e9tait celle quand son peloton lui donna une fausse information concernant la tenue vestimentaire dans laquelle il devait appara\u00eetre le jour suivant sur le terrain de parade. Trois jours dans la m\u00eame semaine il a \u00e9t\u00e9 vu dans un habillement contraire \u00e0 celui de tous les autres. Par contre ce ne fut pas aussi amusant lorsqu\u2019on lui donna des t\u00e2ches suppl\u00e9mentaires pour la fin de semaine, mais cela ne l\u2019a jamais embarrass\u00e9 vu que cela faisait sourire plus d\u2019un et restera en m\u00e9moire pour toujours.<\/p>\n

Michael \u00e9tait grand amateur du plein air. Il adorait camper, p\u00eacher, le paintball et la plong\u00e9e sous-marine pour n\u2019en nommer que quelques-uns. Il passait la plupart de son temps libre \u00e0 profiter des ces choses.<\/p>\n

La mission de Michael en Afghanistan commen\u00e7a d\u00e9but septembre 2008. Pendant son s\u00e9jour l\u00e0-bas, lorsqu\u2019ils avaient des moments libres, Michael mit en place un terrain d\u2019exercice du mur p\u00e9riph\u00e9rique de leur Base d\u2019Op\u00e9ration Avanc\u00e9e (BOA).<\/p>\n

Le golf \u00e9tait un autre passetemps de Michael. Lui et d’autres membres de son peloton envoyaient les balles dans les champs autour de la BOA o\u00f9 les enfants de la r\u00e9gion les ramassaient pour les ramener aux soldats en \u00e9change de nourriture, eau et choses que nous leurs avions envoy\u00e9 pour les troques.<\/p>\n

Apr\u00e8s la mort de Michael ses amis et sa famille cr\u00e9\u00e8rent un tournoi de golf annuel de comm\u00e9moration dont les fonds vont vers un camp pour les enfants de familles militaires d\u00e9favoris\u00e9es. Le Camp Feuille D\u2019\u00c9rable (Camp Maple Leaf) a \u00e9t\u00e9 cr\u00e9\u00e9 par d\u2019anciens combattants des 1\u00e8re et 2\u00e8me GM en 1955, dont l\u2019arri\u00e8re grand-p\u00e8re de Michael fut l’un des membres fondateurs. Une grande terrasse sur un nouveau b\u00e2timent donnant sur le lac dans le camp a \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9di\u00e9e \u00e0 la m\u00e9moire de Michael.<\/p>\n

Un monument comm\u00e9moratif a \u00e9t\u00e9 mis en place \u00e0 la L\u00e9gion \u00e0 Omemee, Ont. en m\u00e9moire de Michael et du Cpl. Mark McLaren qui est d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9 trois semaines avant Michael tous deux ont fr\u00e9quent\u00e9 l’\u00e9cole l\u00e0-bas.<\/p>\n

Le souhait de Michael en cas de d\u00e9c\u00e8s, \u00e9tait d\u2019\u00eatre enseveli chez lui. Michael fut enterr\u00e9 \u00e0 Rosemount Memorial Gardens \u00e0 Peterborough. M\u00eame d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9 Michael continue \u00e0 aider ceux dans le besoin.<\/p>\n

Toujours aim\u00e9 et comm\u00e9mor\u00e9 pour sa plaisante et g\u00e9n\u00e9reuse nature. Il manque toujours \u00e0 sa Maman, \u00e0 son Papa et \u00e0 sa s\u0153ur Kelly.<\/p>\n
