September 3, 2024 – Calgary, Alberta

Michael Eric Coppock of Calgary, AB, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, September 3, 2024, at the age of 74 years.

Michael was a man of strength, ambition, and unwavering dedication. His passion for life was evident in everything he did. He loved NASCAR and found joy in the thrill of drag racing in his beloved Monte Carlo, as well as the tranquillity of fishing by the river, whether in the warmth of summer or the chill of winter ice fishing.

Michael cherished his time at his cabin high in the mountains of Boston Bar, BC, where he could escape and find peace. As a hardworking construction worker, he was deeply committed to his craft and took great pride in his dedication to the union.

His interests were diverse. Michael enjoyed the excitement of horse racing and was a devoted Toronto Blue Jays fan, never missing a game. His sense of humour brought smiles to those around him, and his love for reading filled him with a wealth of knowledge on a wide range of subjects.

Michael is survived by his son Michael and his daughter Michelle Ball (Scott). He also leaves behind his siblings, Susan Marino, Wayne (Julia) and Shelley Schneidmiller (Shayne), along with numerous nieces, nephews, grandchildren, and friends. Michael will be remembered for his unwavering work ethic, his dedication to the union, and his endless kindness.

He was predeceased by his parents, Eric and Doreen Coppock, his brother Roger, and his niece Tina.

Michael’s legacy is that of strength, dedication, and a zest for life. He will forever be etched in our hearts and will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
