Obituary of Michael Jones DeMedeiros Travassos

Travassos, Michael “Mike” 

 

Surrounded by his family, the Lord, his Saviour, took to Himself, our loving Husband and Father, Michael Jones de Medeiros Travassos on Thursday, January 30, 2025, at the age of 58, after a short, courageous battle with lung cancer.  Deeply loved by his wife, Ingrid Travassos (nee Van Dyk), and his children, Zachary Travassos and his girlfriend Bailey Lee, and Natasha and Jake Rowell.  

 

Predeceased by his parents Angelo (2005) and Emilia (2006)Travassos, and his father-in-law, Henk Van Dyk (2006).  

 

Sadly missed by his mother-in-law, Tina Van Dyk, as well as his brother and sister-in-laws, Rob and Ann Van Dyk, Elisabeth Van Dyk-Wong, Paul and Laurie Van Dyk, Mark Van Dyk and Amanda Muma, and Steve Van Dyk and Vanessa Tulk.  Proud uncle of Devon and Erik Van Dyk, Carmen Wong, Brandon and Andrew Van Dyk, Austin Van Dyk, and Seth and Hannah Van Dyk.

 

Mike was a proud member of Liuna Local 1059 - the Labourers Union, proudly working for Bruce Power.  Mike lived his life to the fullest - working hard, playing hard and loving hard.  He had a tough exterior but was soft inside - generous to a fault. He loved his family fiercely and his top priority was looking after them. 

 

Known to his close friends as Tabasco, Mike was an outgoing, opinionated guy, with a great sense of humour.  His one liners, and laugh made the story even funnier.  Mike always made time for his family and friends, and enjoyed Sunday morning coffees, hanging in the garage, swapping stories and drinking beer, but he especially loved riding his Harley.  He loved the unmistakable sound of a Harley, and the freedom he felt on the open road.

 

We wish to extend our special thanks and gratitude to the staff at Verspeeten Family Cancer Center, the staff at LHSC-Victoria, LHSC-University and SMGH, Ontario Health at Home, SE Health, ParaMed Home Health, Community Paramedics from Middlesex-London Paramedic Services, VON Canada and especially the PCOT #3 team for their compassion and care.  

 

To celebrate Mike’s life, visitations will be held on Monday, February 3, 2025, from 5 pm to 8 pm at Denning’s of Strathroy, 32 Metcalfe Street West, Strathroy, Vigil Prayers will be held at 5:00p.m. The funeral will be held on Tuesday, February 4, 2025 at 11:00a.m. at the funeral home. Interment following at the All Saints Catholic Cemetery.  

 

They say, "Nothing lasts forever," but they didn't know about our love for you. One day, when they tell our story, it will always begin and end with how much we loved you.

 

As an expression of sympathy, donations may be made to the Strathroy Lions Club.
