We Remember

SCHEWE, Michael Heinz

—

 

Mike was born in Brunswick, Germany and resided in Kelowna, he passed away suddenly on the morning of April 27, 2014 at the age of 60. Mike was predeceased by his loving mother Waltraud in 1986 and father Heinz in 2009. Mike will be terribly missed by his surviving family members. His wife Valerie and their children Adam (Misty), Erin (Wes), and his grandchildren, who he adored Regan and Evan Schewe.

 

Mike had a zest for life that most of us could only wish for. He was a man of passion when it came to not only his family but his love of race cars. Mike worked for decades striving to build Dirty Edna bigger, faster, stronger, and louder.

 

He was loved by his family and many friends and was always the happiest guy in the room. We will deeply miss his warm smile and chuckle, usually at his own jokes, but we all laughed right along with him. Mike loved nothing more than to entertain whether it is on the racetrack or a family dinner, he was sure to amuse all in attendance.

 

“Although these changes

have come

With your chrome heart shining

In the sun

Long may you run”

 

A small service will take place for family only. Details to come on a future memorial. Please take a moment for Mike and remember a time he made you smile. This is how we want dad remembered.

Condolences can be sent through his facebook page, www.facebook.com/mike.schewe1 . In lieu of flowers a donation may be made to the Kelowna SPCA.

    I am sorry to hear that Uncle Mike had passed. Sadly our families have grown apart and now with the passing of my dad, Arno do I learn of Uncle Mike. If you ever want to talk – please let me know. Deepest condolences.

Testimonials

They took care of me like family.

Judith Szabo

Everything was so organized and pertinent to what we needed. Everyone we met was kind, courteous and very helpful during our emotional and challenging time. Thank you so much.

Heather Mayne

They were so prompt on answering any questions and changing things. They were prepared and respected any religious decisions. The process was so seamless and made easy in such a high stress situation.

Tanya Kohar

In the past 2 years Springfield has helped us through the death of my Mother and my Father. Their response and help allowed us to focus on the remaining family rather than worrying about details of the funeral and all the notifications that are required upon a death.

Terry Eldridge

The atmosphere has been nothing but professional during times of grief.  After the passing of my mother, the staff coached me on the next steps and looked after filling in all the government forms that I needed to sign, which took a huge burden off my mind at the time.

Donald McClure

Everyone was so helpful and kind.  There was no pressure.  They provided exactly what we needed.

Diane Greenwood

From the time I called to the completion of all the services, I received compassionate, attentive and professional care.  There was a sense of caring from each staff member.  I was turning over my Mom to their care and I felt very comfortable with everyone.  I felt heard and never felt pushed into any decision.

Katherine Lewis

I have always found the team at Springfield Funeral Home to be VERY caring, kind, considerate and helpful.  I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone who asks which funeral home would I suggest they use.  No other funeral home I have dealt with even comes close to Springfield Funeral Home.

Ethna Tutt

Right at the onset, I was made very comfortable, there was no pressure.  I was made to feel as if I was the only one they had to serve.

Frances Baum

Everything that was arranged for us was perfect.  Our loved one, husband, father, brother was treated with respect.  Thank you for making this difficult time a little more acceptable via your staff’s obvious caring and respect.
