Michael Mommersteeg

MICHAEL ADRIANUS MOMMERSTEEG passed away peacefully at the Chinook Regional Hospital, on Wednesday, December 11, 2024, at the age of 63 years, surrounded by his family and friends.

Mike grew up in southern Alberta, on a farm in the Whitney area, and then a farm by Raymond. When he finished school, he started a long career in the trucking industry. In 1979, he got his first trucking job with Vanee Livestock, where he would remain for a long time. He started on his own, hauling gravel, and later fries from Maple Leaf, but would end up back at Vanee’s. In his short residency at Bowen Island, BC, he taught himself woodworking which he was very passionate and proud of. He finished his trucking career with Lucas Refrigerated out of Calgary.

When passing Mike on the highway, you would never see his outfit dirty, or the aluminum dull. Mike always found a way to get the job done no matter what. Later in life, Mike’s greatest love was his family. Mike was predeceased by his parents, and best friend, Wilf White.

Left to mourn are the greatest love of his life Susana, and her children Therese, Charyl, Zea May, Ivy Kate, and John Russel.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude towards Mike’s friends who would spend time over the phone every morning chatting about how they have been. Most especially to John, Roanna, Roger, Bobby, and Gwen who stayed with them till the end. Also to the doctors and nurses of Chinook Regional Hospital, and Jack Ady Cancer Centre who took care of him through his entire journey battling cancer but most importantly, to the Palliative Care team who gave the most genuine care for him.

As per Mike’s request, a private Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
