It is with profound sadness that the family of Michael A. Correia announces his sudden passing on December 23, 2024, at the age of 61. Known to many as “the man, the myth, the legend (Mike),” he lived a life filled with laughter, love, and unwavering passion for the things he cared most about.
He leaves behind his loving children, Michael J. Correia and Samantha Correia, and his devoted fiancée, Pamela Jeyasingham, with whom he shared plans for a bright future. Mike is also survived by his father, Ernesto Correia; his sister, Elizabeth Correia; his brother, Victor Correia (Lisa Correia); and their children, Evalina and Mason Correia. He is predeceased by his beloved mother, Odilia Correia, with whom he now rests peacefully.
A lifelong fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs, Mike was always hopeful that “this would be their year.” He also loved wrestling, cheering for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and enjoying a cold beer in the company of family and friends. Whether it was through his jokes, stories, or simply his presence, Mike had an incredible ability to bring people closer and make every gathering unforgettable. Above all, he was a devoted father, a loving son, a supportive brother, a loyal partner, and a cherished friend.
Mike will be deeply missed by all who had the honour of knowing him. His legacy of love, strength, and cherished memories will live on in the stories shared, the laughter remembered, and every toast raised with a Molson Canadian or a rum and coke.
His family extends their heartfelt thanks to all who have offered love and support during this difficult time.
