Michael McKinlay

Michael “Mike” McKinlay, 69, passed away peacefully on November 25th at 2:15 a.m.

Mike was an avid guitarist with a deep love for rock music. His passion for playing was unmistakable—whether he was lost in a favorite riff or sharing music with those around him. He owned and operated a successful residential and commercial painting business, known for his craftsmanship, dependability, and dedication.

Though a private person by nature, Mike was deeply loved by everyone who truly knew him. His quiet strength, unique humor, and unmistakable presence left a lasting impact on family and friends alike.

Mike is survived by his mother, Joan; his sisters, Cheryl and Donna; his six children—Philip, Jason, Justin, Zach, Mac, and Alyssa; and five grandchildren. He will be missed dearly and remembered always.

Funeral or memorial arrangements will be shared with family and friends at a later time. If you’d like, we encourage you to donate to the cancer society or a charity of your choosing.
