It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Michael Alan Pettit on May 21, 2022.  While riding his side-by-side with friends, out in the bush where he was so happy, Mike had an unexpected accident.  Michael enjoyed life with a zest that was evident in everything he did.  He so loved his family, his many friends, camping, and motorized sports.

Mickayla Brown, his soulmate and partner, and baby Harper filled his life with a love and joy that meant everything to him.  Penelope, their huge family dog, rounded out the little family and they sure had fun together on their acreage, camping, and riding.  Michael is now reunited with his beloved dog, Sora.

Mike had many, many friends!  He had dirt biking friends, camping friends, sledding friends, work friends and family friends.  He was a kind guy with a huge heart and someone everyone could count on.  One of the best things about Mike was his big smile and his distinctive laugh.

From the time he was a little boy, he liked trucks and took apart motors.  Mike had a garage filled with motorized toys and he continually built and rebuilt motors. When Mike began driving the logging truck for Mickayla’s father, sitting high up there in his tri-drive, he couldn’t be happier; it was a perfect match.

Michael was a treasured member of both his family and of Mickayla’s family.  He will be remembered and missed dearly by his soulmate Mickayla, daughter Harper, father Brad (Nikki), mother Lynda (Mikal), sister Tanya (Nick), nephew Rowan and niece Fara, Mickayla’s parents Ron and Rhonda and her sister Amanda (Roland), along with his grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, the Brown family and his
many great friends.

Michael’s Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, May 29^th, at 2pm at the Alliance Church, 200 Leigh Road in Kamloops.  If you own a jersey, the family is encouraging you to wear it in Michael’s honour. Many friends will be arriving in their trucks with shiny sleds and bikes tied in the back, along with several logging trucks. Following the service, one of Michael’s closest friends has organized a truck convoy to lead the way to a tailgate
get-together at

Heffley.
