Michael Edward Warren

March 25, 1945 — January 17, 2025

It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we say goodbye to a vibrant and caring husband, father, and grandfather. Michael Edward Warren passed away peacefully on Friday, January 17, 2025, at the Majorie Willougby Hospice in Kamloops, BC.

Born in rural Sussex, England on March 25, 1945, Mike generated a tremendously impactful impression wherever he went and with whoever was lucky enough to be around him. Growing up on the farm with his two sisters Pamela and Margaret, stories of his childhood were retold with a spark in his eyes, clearly proud of his shenanigans and accomplishments. Early on while working on the farm, his parents saw in him a deep curiosity and willingness to try new things. These traits led him to a long and successful career as a civil engineer, constantly looking at ways to solve problems and stretch his mind. His favorite part was working with people, and he was never afraid to get in and get his hands dirty… his focus was in wastewater after all.

His journey took him to Australia, back to England, and then with his first wife Jo to settle in Kamloops where he continued his career and raise their new family, sons Paul, Andy, and Dave. Initially with Stanley’s, he then went to The City of Kamloops where he spent the rest of his career leading some amazing projects including the Wastewater Treatment Center and the Water Treatment Plant. He built strong and lasting relationships and will be remembered by many as a passionate engineer, a great mentor, and friend.

Putting his family first, and with his love for the outdoors, he spent time with them camping, fishing, hiking, and just general adventuring, always appreciating what nature had to offer. A consummate traveler, he enjoyed vacations in places like Mexico, Hawaii, Europe, New Zealand, and the Cook Islands to name a few. To top it off, whatever spare time he had left was spent in his woodshop, happily building anything anyone asked for while humming at the top of his lungs.

His loving wife Alice, his children, Fiona (wife to Andy), grandkids (Rafe, Alexa, Nathan, Allie, and Aria), Alice’s children Michelle (Brandon – Ethan and Juliana) and Brian (Teresa – Sam (Jared) and Cierra), and many friends and others that he has left an impression with will remember him as loving, caring, chatty jokester who always made time for anyone. He was a wonderful soul.

A Celebration of Life will be held at The Coast Hotel, 1250 Rogers Way in Kamloops on March 22, 2025 at 2pm. All family, friends, and acquaintances both old and new are welcome to join. A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Mary Malabranche and the RIH staff, to the wonderful staff, and volunteers at the Majorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice facility, and all those that supported the family through the tougher times. If desired, donations may be made in his name to the Kamloops Hospice Foundation and Canadian Heart and Storke Foundation.
