Obituary of Mike Holgate

Holgate, Harold Michael “Mike” With a broken heart and great sorrow we say goodbye to Mike Holgate who passed away on Tuesday May 18th, 2021 at the age of 62. Husband and dear friend of Pam Reed. He sadly leaves behind his two boys, Mason and Reade Holgate whom he thought the world of, his sister Jennifer Holgate and loved stepchildren Clayton Reed and Codey Reed. He will be sadly missed by all of his Casino Rama Colleagues, and the staff and Patrons of Studabakers. Mike was a kind, extremely thoughtful and generous man. He was a man of few words at times, but most times many. He had a very unique sense of humour and always made himself laugh. Mike did not have an angry bone in his body – a lesson we can all learn from. There will be no service due to Covid restrictions and any donations may be made to the Orillia OSPCA or a charity of your choice through the Simcoe Funeral Home, 38 James St E. Orillia (705) 327-0221. Mike was always a man that contemplated in great length every single one of his actions, processed it in his own mind, made a decision, right or wrong, formulated a plan and succeeded…. And he did just that. He would not want anyone to be sad, mean, angry or shed any tears – just raise a cold tall Canadian or Weisers and Diet Coke and be kind. That’s the man he was.
