Michael Carl O'Neil

April 17, 1959 - October 17, 2007

 


In his home, in Hamilton (Westdale), Ontario, Canada,

Michael Carl O'Neil passed away suddenly...

Michael Carl O'Neil befriends all, even a squirrel!

This is one of the last pictures taken of Michael...

It was the center of his collage at his funeral.

He not only displays his epilepsy support,

but also his gentle nature that even squirrels approach him!


The poem that was thought to summarize Michael's views:


I'd like the memory of me

to be a happy one.

I'd like to leave an afterglow

of smiles when life is done.

I'd like to leave an echo

whispering softly down the ways

of happy times and laughing times

and bright and sunny days.

I'd like the tears of those who grieve,

to dry before the sun,

of happy memories that I leave

when life is done.

 


Michael as a teenager...

Michael as a teen-ager... as usual he looks to be analyzing and observing....


Despite many life challenges, Michael was always known to "step up to the plate"

to try new things!

His life was indeed fulfilled by his favourite saying:

"All the World's a Stage"

by entertaining thousands of people across the world...

making them laugh...

and

made a difference!


May you now find the well-deserved peace...

(including God-given peace of mind!)

that you so very much deserve...

Thank you

Michael Carl O'Neil (as you were known to many...)

for making a difference to all of us!

We miss you.... but know your spirit is around us...

Your "Michael - The Archangel's Living Statue" didn't quite materialize here,

but we can need all the angels we can get (hint, hint!).

That's a bit of your humour!


 

Knowing how much your family history and roots meant to you, and connecting with your cousin, Marlene O'Neil in Ottawa, who passionately studies "The O'Neil's"... she wrote a message for you in your guest book which is being added as I know how much her insight meant to you and the bond that you shared...

To my wonderful kindered spirit cousin - we shared our family past and present and gleaned meaning where we came from and why we are today. You shall be forever in my heart and I shall miss you terribly. Your soft voice and laughter still rings in my ears. I will miss our calls to laugh, to cry, to remember and to reflect....Until we meet again.

Cousin Marlene

Michael.... she also left you with these words...which is an "O'Neil" tradition...

The Irish Blessing

May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind always be at your back.

May the sun shine warm upon your face, and rains fall soft upon your fields.

And until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.


(The above picture is the last picture of Michael - luckily - he posted it on his "Fotothing")

Please search for him on "Google"... despite his dyslexia, he wouldn't let technology intimidate him.

One may find it strange to add a picture of Michael at his father's grave...

However, Michael visited there often... wanted his photograph taken there...

He found the cemetery to be peaceful and good place of reflection...

and now

he is also resting in the White Chapel Memorial Gardens

in Hamilton, Ontario.

Rest in peace, Michael!

Rest in peace...

We'll always remember you - you're in our thoughts and hearts!

Until we meet again....God bless you!

Michael's baby picture!

In loving memory of

Michael Carl O'Neil


To Michael's only niece

who he was so proud of, adored and loved very much!

Nicole Patricia O'Neil

Especially for you - Nicole - a message!

"Your Uncle Michael is watching over you! He loved, adored and cherished you very much!"

(He was also aware and very proud that she also performed on stage...and was very impressed!)
