MICHAEL GADWAY

GADWAY, MICHAEL With heavy hearts, we announce the peaceful passing of Michael John Gadway, on Monday, January 27, 2020, at the age of 74, after a courageous battle with ALS. Michael was a man of pride, character and faith.

He will always be remembered for his deep love of family, sense of humour and loyalty to his friends. A graduate of Ryerson University, Michael went on to enjoy an accomplished career at IBM and later Celestica. Michael had a lifelong passion for the game of golf, both on and off the course.

In his retirement years, he enjoyed serving as scorer for the Granite Ridge Men’s Golf League. After moving to Milton, Michael deepened his relationship with the Catholic Church, joining the Holy Rosary Parish. Michael will be missed deeply by his wife Beatrix (Trixy) Benner, his sister, Carolyn, son, Jeffrey, and stepsons Josh (Daniela), and Jon (Kaitlyn).

Affectionately known as “Grand-Mike” to Bela, Jackson and Teddy, Michael will be missed dearly by his family, “the golf guys”, along with friends and community members alike, from Milton and Etobicoke. Family and friends are invited to gather on Thursday, January 30, 2020, from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m., at McKersie-Kocher Funeral Home, 114 Main St. E., Milton, 905-878-4452.

Holy Mass will be celebrated to honour his loving life on Friday, January 31, 2020, at 11 a.m., at Holy Rosary Church, 139 Martin St., Milton.
