Mike's first love was his family, followed by his passion for logging, mechanics, and carpentry. He had an avid sense for the outdoor environment all of his life. He loved the outdoors. Every season he had something to look forward to; netting, fishing, tapping trees for maple syrup, and preparing for winter by cutting wood for his family and Manitoulin. Mike was well known for his sense of humour everywhere he went. Mike also had a strong strong bond with his younger sister Barb. He always made sure she was alright and was her special chauffeur. His favourite saying was “My name is Mike Sagon.” Visitation will be held at the Zhiibaahasing Community Complex on Sunday January 13 from 1 pm until time of the funeral service at 10 am on Tuesday January 15, 2019.
