MICHAEL WIRTH Suddenly on December 1, 2014 we lost our husband, father, son, brother, and friend. Michael was preceded by his poppa Archie, grandfather Arthur, and father-in-law Edward. He leaves behind his beloved wife Michelle and their three young boys Ryan, Riley, and Logan; his parents Ryan and Leslie; his brother Steven (Kirsten), his mother-in-law Mary (Bernie), brother-in-law Joe, sisters-in-law Mary-Anne (Charlie) and Diana (Jason), his many nephews: Coleton, Geoffrey, Michael, Blake, Trevor, and Dexter, his nieces Madison, Reese, and Kaitlyn; and his dogs Bella and Khloe, that were with him everywhere he went. He also leaves to mourn his passing - Grandmother Susan Wirth and Granny Helen Douglas along with numerous aunties, uncles and cousins. Michael was very passionate about running the family business, Perfect Landscaping (PL). He was always busy coming up with his next project. He loved being at the cabin with his family and going sledding with friends. Michael had a big heart and was an extremely generous person. Michael was compassionate about so many things - of late it was ensuring that all children had a proper school play area. Michael always saw the very best in people. He was a great friend to many who he considered his brothers. We will all miss Michael very much. A memorial reception will be held Sunday, December 7, 2014 at Rossmere Golf and Country Club, 925 Watt Street, between the hours of 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. There will be no formal service so please come and go as you please. In lieu of flowers, please send your donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or the Winnipeg Humane Society. Bardal Funeral Home 204-774-7474 Condolences www.bardal.ca

Michael is unconditional love that much I know, he has and will continue to inspire all who knew him with that love ... that is a gift .. and I know that is his legacy on earth and that his spirit is very much alive, You see it in his Mother & Father, his children, his wife, his brother, his other close family members, numerous aunts, uncles, cousins & friends. This cannot be explained but shown in love for him by the hundreds and hundreds of persons who came from far and near to his Memorial to celebrate and mourn his passing from this world. It is said...Nothing comes from Nothing and I know that to be true .. his energy, his vitality, his love, his spirit, is alive beyond these earthly confines.... My deepest heartfelt sympathy to my sister Leslie, My Brother-in-Law Ryan, Steven & Kirsten & kids, and especially to his wife Michelle and the 3 boys Ryan, Riley & Logan.
