Obituary
DEVINE, Michael…
At the age of 76, Michael Joseph Devine passed away peacefully in London, Ontario, on September 1, 2023, from complications arising from Parkinson’s Disease. He was the loving father of Michaela Devine Altenburg of London, Ontario and cherished grandfather of Morgan, Willem, and Janek, and the dear brother of Donna, Shaun, and Patrick Devine. He was predeceased by his sister Penny Oglow and by his parents Helen and Walter Devine of Wawa, Ontario.
Michael’s life was enriched by his love of music and his deep and enduring interest in mathematics, science, poetry and philosophy. Right up until the end, he never wavered in his passionate pursuit of knowledge. Dear to his heart as well were his two cats, Butterbean and Amber. They brought him so much joy.
Michael will be greatly missed by his family and by the many friends he made and kept throughout his life.
His cremation took place on September 5, and a gravestone is erected in Michael’s memory, located in the Woodland Cemetery in Wawa, Ontario. Anyone wishing to make a donation in memory of Michael can choose a favourite charity of their own.

Michaela, your steadfast commitment to your dad was inspiring. Dan remembers Michael’s passion for mathematics well, and I will remember the love and friendship shown by a daughter as she bravely, with humour and grace, walked her father home
Truly lost such a beautiful, smart and talented man , so kind. You will be missed Mike , May you RIP ??
Michael and I grew up in Wawa together and later both lived in London — we’d often run into each other there and catch up on our lives. I remember him as a gentle soul with a curious and creative spirit and an easy, likeable way about him. He always spoke so proudly and lovingly of you, Michaela, and seemed an incredibly devoted father. I am so sorry for your loss and send my sincere condolences to you and your family. RIP Michael.
We heard this news tonight, Michaela, at the Waldorf school picnic/barbeque, from a parent who was the doctor looking after your father. We are so very sorry and send our deepest sympathy to you and your family. Much love to all of you.
Condolences to the family..
Michael I will always remember you as my 1st babysitter. Your family were part of our growing up years in Wawa . Was so blessed to have you all in it. Hugs and prayers to the family !!! God has taken another Angel
To Michaela and her sons, and Donna, Shaun, Pat, my heartfelt condolences. Mike once told me that before he died, he would like to meet up with all of his friends, look each in the eye, shake hands and say: “Thanks for being my friend”. Mike, thank you for being my friend fo 60 years.
