CARSWELL
MIKE (MIKEY) JOHN CARSWELL
God has wrapped his arms around you and has taken you home, his wings have spread and Mike is now out of
his pain and in peace.
Mike passed away February 26, 2014 at the age of 39 years at St. Michael’s Palliative Care Unit.
Mike is the beloved son of Bev and Dave Carswell and is survived by his sister Sherri Caldicott (Tony).
Mike will be missed by his family members, Dixie Pratt, Ken Pratt, Wayne Carswell and niece (Victoria
Caldicott) and nephew (Connor Caldicott).
Mike was born April 3, 1974, much to his grandma’s delight with the shock of red hair!
Throughout his life he was an avid gamer, an Edmonton Oilers fan, and loved his Coca-cola.
Mike worked at Wal Mart for 10 years, where he made many good friends who supported him throughout his
battle with cancer.
Mike also loved playing pool Sunday nights at The Front Row Pub, where he made many friends.
Mike was very well liked and loved by many. He inspired people and didn’t even know it. He showed us how
to be strong and brave and how precious life can be. Memories of Mike will be held close to our hearts.
We would like to thank all the Doctors and nurses at St. Michael’s Palliative Care who took such
wonderful care of our son and brother.

raised their family on a farm south of Burdett.  Over his fifty five years of farming, he continually
took pride in his diversified farming operations working six days a week long hard hours. As a father and
grandfather he spent many years mentoring his sons and grandsons in farming.
 Allan loved travelling, camping, tinkering in his shop and manicuring his acreage. Creating, inventing
and fabricating were gifts he was blessed with.
He was a lifelong cheerleader of his children and grandchildren¹s extra-curricular activities. Most
importantly, Allan was known as a man of integrity who built his life and family around serving God and
his church.
