MICHAEL DAVID WELBERGEN
As a boy, Michael was a member of Crestview Beavers, Cubs and Scouts. In the early 1980s, he was a member of the Winnipeg Junior Strings Orchestra. In high school he played football with the Sturgeon Creek Schooners and was proud to be a Winnipeg Blue Bombers supporter.
As he grew up, Michael started to take an interest in technology. His knowledge and love for electronics and tech led to his current work in the IT sector.
In 2014, Michael married Brandy, the love of his life. Both he and Brandy loved and kept several cats. They both contributed to and assisted at Craig Street Cats.
Michael was predeceased by his father Anthony (Tony) in 2010 and by his wife Brandy who died tragically in 2017. He will be lovingly remembered by his mother Sheila, siblings, Andrew and Susan, nephews, Josh and Noah, and many relatives in England and the Netherlands.
Due to COVID restrictions, a private family funeral has taken place.
If desired, donations in Michael's memory may be made to Craig Street Cats or a charity of your choice.
