Dear Board Members,
It is with deep regret that I am announcing the passing away of Mike Bremer. Mike
has devoted a great portion of his time to mentor and develop referees
in Ottawa, Ontario, and Canada. He was a great friend to many of us in
the soccer community. Our sincere condolences go to his wife Heidi, and
his daughters Tanya (Greg) and Kristy, his son Sean, and the rest of the
family. Mike will be greatly missed, but leaves behind great memories.
The
message below contains a link to the details of Mike's visitation and
service. Please feel free to pass around to those who knew Mike.

Dear family and friends,
As
many of you know, Mike had been battling a brain tumor since being
diagnosed in April. His illness came on quickly and aggressively. He was
most recently at St. Vincent’s Hospital where family and friends
visited often. He always looked forward to seeing a smiling face and the
warmth of people who cared for him so deeply.
On Sunday,
he passed away peacefully and at rest. We take comfort in knowing that
he will no longer suffer pain. Please keep us in your thoughts and
prayers during this difficult time.
The visitation and funeral service will take place this Friday and Saturday. Please find the details at the web site below:
Sincerely,
Heidi, Tanya (Greg), Sean, Kristy and family
