    My heart is broken for Sarah, Tyanna, Elwood, Breanna & every other family member and friend of Mikah. No words will ever take the pain and sadness away, but he will always be remembered for his smile and the kindness of his heart! One of my favourite memories with Mikah was at my parents when him and I were trying to hoola-hoop together and the laughs we had trying to make it work. Mikah’s hugs were one of my favourites & everything about him will be deeply missed. Sending love to everyone who needs it

    I will miss your hugs, and our chat. You were the perfect boss and it only took me 14 yrs out of 18 to find one. I will never forget when you took over the store and you were so stressed and I told you I would always have your back even when I left for knee surgery I still had your back. You were loved more than you will ever know. ❤️

    Dearest Mikah: Hard to imagine you not being on this planet physically, but we know you are here in your strong spirit and kindness. Thinking of you skiing and riding your bike and how much we enjoyed being with you and your siblings–flying through the woods.
    To dear Sarah, Fred, Virginia, Rick and Mikah’s siblings, your hearts must feel like they are breaking. Please know that we are thinking of you and sending love as you try to cope.

    Mikah was an amazing person and a wonderful manager. He was always positive and would put a smile on my face every time i’d come in. i always remember him making other people laugh and making the workplace a positive place for everyone, even on harder days. I am sending my condolences to his family and friends. Rest in peace Mikah 🕊️

    My family and I feel very fortunate to have met Mikah through my cousin Rebecca Small when they came to visit us in Vancouver. To say he made a lasting impression on us is an understatement. At such a young age, he so clearly knew who he was and what he wanted in life. I especially admired his kindness, fun loving attitude, work ethic and goals. We are so deeply saddened to hear of his passing. The world has lost one of the few good ones. From deep in our hearts, Paula, Mattea, Miles and I send our love and condolences to his family and friends. Mikah – you are deeply loved by so many people who had the good fortune to have known you. Rest in peace.

    I didn’t know Mikah personally, but seem Mikah when I went to The Dollerama. Always smiling and very kind every time I went in there. I was so shocked when I had heard Mikah had passed. Condolences to the family!

    I am so sorry your loss ❤️ i met Mikah at Dollarama a couple years ago. Every time my kids and I went in, he was always there with a friendly greeting and took the time to ask how I was doing. He was such a kind soul and he’s gone far too soon 💔

    I’m thinking of everyone who is affected by his loss, I know my family will greatly miss seeing him. GBNF. ❤️❤️
