Michael Stephen Zerr
Michael Stephen Zerr aged 60 years Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, passed away on Sunday, August 4th, 2024, after complications with multiple myeloma. Michael was born November 5th, 1963, in Portage La Prairie, Manitoba. He was the second youngest of seven children.
Michael was a son, brother, brother-in-law, uncle, stepdad, proud grandpa, and friend. He was predeceased by his mom and dad, Maxine and Gus. Michael is survived by his siblings: Karen (Pat) Langton, Shelley (Dave) Elder, Marcus (Christal), Dana, Alexis (Shel) North, and Wilfred (Christy); stepchildren, Cher (Andras) Hajosi (Cassandra, Braydon and Noah), and Cindy Miller (Jayda and Jackson); great-grandchildren, Kalden and Brier; as well as numerous nephews and nieces.
As an electrician by trade, Michael was a proud member of IBEW and worked throughout Saskatchewan for most of his career. He had an outstanding work ethic and continued to work until he could no longer do so.
Michael had many loves, the first being his dogs. He also loved the outdoors and went fishing and hunting throughout his whole life. He knew every fishing hole and never would tell a soul where they were. He would track his prey when hunting and always had sausage to share with all his family and friends. Golfing was another passion, and you would always find him at the Lynbrook Golf Course. He was an avid sports enthusiast cheering on the Edmonton Oilers, Saskatchewan Roughriders, Blue Jays, and the Moose Jaw Warriors.
