Michael Lewis Pacey was born in Oshawa, Ontario, on Dec 20, 1942.
It was in Los Angeles in the mid-60s that he met Effie, the love of his life. They moved to Winnipeg to start a family and then to Vancouver in the 70s, where Michael began a long and successful career as a graphic artist. They raised two children, Robert and AJ, in North Vancouver, and he would later work alongside his son in Pacey + Pacey Design.
He was an avid collector, an art lover, a golfer, and a published designer. He was a kind and generous man who would make anyone he met feel welcomed.
He was predeceased by his loving wife of 56 years, Efigenia, and by his younger brother Richard. He is survived by his son Robert, wife Diane, daughter AJ and her husband Daved and their adored grandchildren Ty and Addy.
On May 28th, 2022, on he and Effie’s 56th wedding anniversary, surrounded by family, Michael passed away from pancreatic cancer.
Rest in Peace, Papito, you’re with Mamita now. Te extrañamos mas que mucho.
