MICHAEL DONOVAN CHEATLEY February 14, 1942 - June 30, 2007 Michael died peacefully at St. Paul's Hospital in Vancouver. Survived by daughters Barbara Cheatley (and Mike Van Bennekom) of Toronto and Stephanie Cheatley (and Aman Dhanji) of Vancouver. All of his family and friends who love him dearly, including his CCRA co-workers, the lunch bunch at Shenanigans, colleagues at the Vancouver Aquarium, his friends at the Palisades and his college buddies from the Bytowne Inn in Ottawa will all miss him. Michael opened our eyes and let the future in with insights on trends, popular culture and the political climate of the day. He was an information junkie. He took and shared all information with a grain of salt and a healthy dose of dry wit. Michael retired at age 60 to indulge his passion for travel. We hold him in our hearts and thoughts as he continues on his great journey. A celebration of life was held Friday, July 6 at the Vancouver Aquarium in Stanley Park to honour his life and share memories of his wonderful sense of humour, intelligence and generosity. Memorial Donations in Michael's memory may be made to the Vancouver Aquarium.
