OWEN KENNETH (MICK) MCLEOD
November 25th, 1929 – September 23rd, 2020
Owen Kenneth (Mick) McLeod, a proud veteran of the Royal Canadian Air Force, went home to be with his Lord and Saviour on Wednesday, September 23rd, 2020 at the age of 90 years.
Mick was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan on November 25th, 1929 and was the firstborn child of Malcolm (Mac) McLeod and Alice Belle McLeod (née: Cook).

Mick also had a career in Real Estate and worked as a Commissionaire. For many years, Mick was very involved in Church and Youth work.

To Mrs McLeod and family. Please accept my condolences at your loss. Knowing Mick through the Commissionaires I enjoyed wit, humor and the ability to see the best of situations most would not see anything. I will keep him and you in my prayers.
Sincere condolences from Bob and Val (Clark) Burron. Bob knew Mick’s parents when he was a child and my relationship with the family extends many decades. May the Lord bring comfort and peace to those who knew and loved him best.
Thinking of you all during this difficult time. His grace is sufficient. With sincere condolences,
Mary Anne Clark
Jan,Kim,Roberta and families; deepest sympathy on the passing of your dad. I remember him as a man with a wonderful sense of humor and his friendly manor. There is a celebration in heaven as God welcomes him. God bless and comfort you.
Howie! How wonderful to hear from you! I actually thought of you when we were in MJ. Thanks for your good wishes. We had an amazing send off for our Dad. God is good. A few single Snowbirds flew over the cemetery while we were there. He would have loved it!
Jan,KIM,Roberta. So sorry to hear of your dad passing.You have so many great memories.we go back a long time as friends .Jackie our sympathies.our thoughts and prayers are with you all. 12 years ago Mick gave me a lot of encouragement when Bob got sick.Always kept in touch to see how he was doing. Never left without saying we will pray for him! Thank you .Bob and Monique.
My very deepest sympathies to all of Mick’s family at his passing. I met Mick and his family a very long time ago when we lived in PMQ’s at the Air Base in Moose Jaw. We lived side by side and shared a back door step. Mick was a good friend of my father, Frank Draper. I ran into Mick years later while I worked at TD Bank and he surprised me greatly because he knew who I was and it was delightful to catch up on a lifetime of memories. May your family all find peace knowing that so many are remembering what a good and kind man your father/ grandfather was.
Jackie, may the Lord grant you His peace and strength at this time. I worked with Mick years ago when he was in youth work and on programs at Kedleston Camp. And we fondly remember the girls at children’s camp there. God’s blessings to each one of you!
Oh I am so dissappointed that because of the covid politics I haven’t Mick for ages. He was a joy to be around. I loved his jokes and his hugs. Will miss you here on earth Mick, but would not deny you heaven for anything!! I will see you in the Lords time. Live you Jacqui may the God of all peace and comfort surround you.
Aunt Jackie,
Our sincere condolences to you and the entire family during this time of loss.
*So glad we were able to watch the live webcast service on our TV here at home; what wonderful tributes and memories.
Love,
Dave and Eileen
