HARDY, Michael David -
May 5, 1970 - April 17, 2024
Passed away at Lakeridge Health Oshawa on Wednesday April 17th, 2024 at the age of 53 after a battle with cancer.
Dear and loving husband of Tamara.
Much loved Son of David and Margaret Hardy and brother of Elaine Hardy and her husband Paul Lowes.
Mike will be missed by his many nieces and nephews.
Michael was a fun-loving, sociable and generous person who made friends wherever he went. He attended Centennial College to train for tool and die work, and thereafter always had a job at which he worked hard, becoming a well-regarded tradesman at Ball Packaging.
He was happily married to Tamara, the love of his life, for 25 years.
Together, they lived life to the fullest, enjoying many good times with family and their many friends. Mike’s marriage to Tamara opened up a new world for him as they travelled to Tamara’s birthplace, Iran, as well as to Egypt, Las Vegas and many times to Niagara Falls.
Mike loved the family cottage where he and Tamara hosted wonderful gatherings of family and friends.
He loved to hang out in the garage with the guys sharing drinks and smokes after ATV expeditions in the surrounding forest.
In winter the same joy resulted from snowmobiling on the lake and trails. Duck hunting at an annual “boy’s weekend” with cousins and friends at Lake Nipissing was also a tradition that Mike treasured.
He brought so much joy to his parents and family throughout his life, and his passing will leave a great void in our lives, and in the lives of all that he touched.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a date to be determined.
