DR. MICHAEL EMOND

Dr. Michael Joseph Emond of Kincardine, an esteemed physician, loving husband and cherished grandfather, passed away suddenly, with his family by his side, at Victoria Hospital in London on Monday July 8, 2024, at the age of 70.
Michael was born on July 29, 1953, to the late Walter and Dorothy Emond.
Michael married his high school sweetheart and best friend, June, spending a wonderful 49 years together. After graduating from medicine from the University of Toronto, together they moved to Kincardine in 1979 and spent the next 40 years serving the community with his medical practice and bringing care to thousands of patients.
Beyond medicine Michael had a passion for sports and travelling. He spent many years coaching various sports in Kincardine, including successfully winning provincial championships in baseball. He was also an influential member in bringing girls hockey to the community. In total, Michael travelled to over 81 countries around the world with his family, each with many unique and unforgettable experiences. Even in the end, he was able to experience one last adventure – taking the air ambulance with June to the hospital in London.
Michael’s greatest joy, however, was his family. With his wife June, they raised three children: Reid (Noriko), Leslie (Chris) and Ryan (Kayla). He adored his role as a proud grandfather to his seven grandchildren: Ryo, Noa, Taiyo, Abigail, Thalia, Scarlett, and Austin.
Additionally, he is survived by his two sisters Mary and Theresa (Roger), his mother-in-law Louise, in-laws Linda (Ian), David (Lynne) along with many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his sister Celina (Jack), his father-in-law Eldred, and in-law Manoel.
A celebration of life was held at Ainsdale Golf Course in Kincardine from 2-5 p.m. on Monday, July 15, 2024.
Memorial donations to the Kidney Foundation of Canada or the Kincardine and Community Health Care Foundation appreciated as expressions of sympathy.
