Michael Ward Obituary, Death – In addition to his devoted fiancé James Turner and his family, Michael is survived by his devoted mother JoAnn Ward and her partner Dean Berry, his devoted sister and brother-in-law Amber and Chad Jay, his niece Marguerite Jay, his closest friend Doug Branson, his aunts and uncles James and Cindy Hunter, David and Kathryn Hunter, Steve and Ann Ward, and Pam Bercaw, a large number of cousins, and an incredible number of friends. In the meantime, Brutus and Boulder, the dogs, are still waiting at the door for him to get home.
His father, Mike Ward, his grandparents, Joseph and Betty Hunter and Roy and Barbara Ward, his aunts, Marcia Rybicki and Linda Ewing, his uncle, Scott Ward, and his cousins, Jenni Hunter and Rhett Bliss, all passed away before him. James and Michael went on a trip across the country together, and throughout that time, they experienced a lot of incredible things together. His house was always neatly and expertly decorated for each season, and he enjoyed throwing parties throughout the entire year whenever he could.
His intelligence was acute, his humour was smart, and he was an exceptional manager and motivator besides. Because he was such a diligent worker, he was highly respected by those who had the good fortune and intelligence to engage his services. His close friends were aware of the fact that almost everyone he came in contact with considered him a close buddy. People, both strangers and friends, enjoyed having conversations with him because he had a talent for listening with kindness. We are all really thankful for the brief time that we were able to spend with him. His legacy will endure in perpetuity through the innumerable tales, images, and recollections that we all share.
