Michael "Mike" Edward Mallon

With deep love and heavy hearts, we share the passing of Michael Edward Mallon, who died peacefully in his sleep on May 3, 2025, at the age of 75, after a major stroke and a long, quiet battle with Huntington’s Disease.

Born and raised in Rexdale, Mike was the eldest of four siblings. He was a man of few words but endless curiosity — passionate about music, computers, tools, and figuring out how things worked (often reading the manual, cover to cover).

He spent over 40 years on the night shift at Crown Cork & Seal, working hard, never complaining, and always putting his family first. He met the love of his life, Sherry, at 17 — and they stuck together for 55 years.

Together, they raised two kids, Steven and Kareen, and filled their home with steady love, tech gadgets, and Christmases that always included a new tool kit.

Mike passed away at Royal Victoria Hospital in Barrie, exactly one week after his stroke. He is survived by his wife Sherry; his children Steven (Jacqueline) and Kareen; his grandchildren Emma and Caden; his great-granddaughter Blakely; and his siblings Brian, Hugh, and Maureen.

He’ll be remembered for his quiet strength, dry sense of humor, deep love of family, and his signature problem-solving method: coffee in one hand, duct tape in the other.

Live long and prosper, Dad — wherever you are.

Family and friends will be received for a graveside service at Barrie Union Cemetery, 338 Sunnidale Road, on Friday, May 9, 2025, at 2 o'clock p.m. If so desired, donations in memory of Mike may be made to the Huntington's Society.
