A Royal Canadian Navy Historical Project
They made the Ultimate Sacrifice
McENTEE, Michael (Mac) Owen - Born in Montreal, very suddenly passed away on Monday, May 27, 2019 in Ottawa. A brother to so many officers and members of the CAF and respected colleague to many in the defence industry. He was very proud of his Irish roots, but most of all, to have had the honour to wear the uniform of the Royal Canadian Navy. Always ready with a song, a quote from Churchill or JFK, or his self-deprecating humour, he was a man among men and a friend to so many, recognized by his broad smile, and the sparkle in his eye. He leaves to mourn the love of his life, his wife and best friend, Marika (nee Versailles), his daughter Erin Patricia, his son Michael Darcy, his stepchildren Cody-Anna, James, and Holly Orlando. Also, his sisters Patricia McEntee-Dunne (Patrick), Maureen McEntee-Biggs (Alan) and Catherine (Danny). His nephews, Sean and Liam Dunne, Peter and Ewan Biggs. He was predeceased by his parents, Michael and Catherine (nee Rooney). Friends and family are invited to visit Beechwood, Funeral, Cemetery & Cremation Services, 280 Beechwood Avenue, Ottawa, on Saturday, June 8 at 12:00 p.m., until time of a Funeral Service at 2:00 p.m. Burial to follow at 3:00 p.m. in the National Military Cemetery. In lieu of flowers a donation to a charity of your choice in Mike's honour would be appreciated. Mike, sweetheart, dad, the moment that you died, our hearts split in two. One side filled with memories, the other died with you. Remembering you will be easy, we will do it every day, but missing you is a heartache that will never go away. Rest easy my love, watch over us until we see you again in the Fields of Athenry. (Ottawa Citizen 01 Jun 2019)
