Michael's strength will be forever remembered by his wife of five years Carol Anne Reese Parrott, his parents, Glenn and Roberta, his brothers, Glenn (Kimme), Stuart (Joan) and Lawrence (Colleen), children, Mark and Mackenzie, and his stepson James Kilpatrick. He is also remembered by his many nieces, nephews, extended family, and good friends. Born in Winnipeg on August 31, 1962, and having grown up in Minnedosa, Michael graduated from Brandon University with a BSc with the Class of 1983. After university, Michael worked for Acklands (six years), Nestle (14 years), and Siemens (three years).

The family would like to thank the many doctors and nurses of the Brampton Civic and Princess Margaret Hospitals, especially: Dr. Martin Chasen, Dr. Roddy Davey, Dr. Parneet Cheema, and Palliative Care Ward nurse Kelvin Karoki.

Mike & I met at BU (ironically it was the Alumni Mag wherein I just learned of his passing) through his Cousin Murray who was a Comp Sci buddy. Later we worked at Acklands together and had great times at work and outside of it (along with Paul Luomela) - I still tell stories of our time there! One of the first things Mike did that I am indebted for is re-introducing me to New Wave, particularly Wang Chung. I missed him a lot after he moved to Ontario. Eventually, we reconnected via LinkedIn and it was good to hear that things worked out well for him there. Mike always lived life to the fullest and was an inspiration to all that knew him. You can take it easy now, Mikey. - Posted by: Bob Constans (Friend) on: Apr 22, 2019
