Tribute
On the morning of Saturday, August 31st, 2024 Mike Hembroff passed away after a courageous battle with cancer.
Mike was born and raised in Moose Jaw, Sk. He attended King Edward Elementary and Riverview view high school. He spent his younger years with his brothers, Dave, Rick, Tim, Kevin and Brian in River Park. He enjoyed sports, hunting and fishing. He met the love of his life, Verna down in River Park. They married in 1972 in Moose Jaw and moved with their daughters, Tammy and Carrie to Weyburn, SK in 1977. He worked at SGI, where he made many friends and retired after a long career. Mike joined the Kinsmen in Moose Jaw and carried on with the club in Weyburn where he made several great friends. He played hockey for much of his adult life and moved to curling after he retired. Mike spent a lot of time at the cabin in White Bear and the White Bear Golf Course with his lake family.
When Mike first retired, He and Verna spent their winters in Mexico and summers in SK and BC. Mike and Verna moved to BC after retiring to follow their dreams of living in the mountains. Mike loved mountain life and the many adventures he had on his side by side. He spent time fishing and camping with his new BC friends. He got back into skiing and even tried out sledding a couple times.
Mike loved life and all the adventures and took every opportunity to explore the mountains and all they had to offer.
He leaves to mourn his beloved wife, Verna, two daughters Tammy (Tom), Carrie (Brad), his grandchildren, Taylor (Seb), Matthew (Renae), Bransen, Hannah and Graeme, and one great-grandchild, Carter. He leaves his brothers Dave, Rick (Cheryl), Tim (Connie), Kevin (Bev), Brian (Teresa) and numerous nieces and nephews and many friends who were like family. He loved all his family and was proud of them all.
A celebration of life for Mike will be held at the Canal Flats Civic Center, Saturday, September 28th, at 3:00pm. In lieu of flowers a donation can be made to the Cancer Society.
