Obituary of Michael Anthony Emms

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of our beloved husband, father, and grandfather, Michael Anthony Emms on Sunday, March 21, 2021.

Mike died peacefully at the age of sixty-seven, in the arms of his wife surrounded by his children at the Chatham-Kent Hospice. He is predeceased by his parents Dorsey and Ina (Howcroft) Emms. 

Mike was a loving husband for almost thirty-five years to his wife Elizabeth (Warwick), father to son Brandon (Laura), and daughter Danielle. Pops was the proud and loving grandfather to Callum and Sam.
