Mike is survived by his common-law wife Debby Carr; his son Dwayne Michael Treseng and his mom Ronda Hansen; his daughter Jennyffer Lee and her mom Jean Watson Smylie; son-in-law Norm and grandson Benton Louis; sisters Yvonne Redman (Garry Lillies), Bernice (Len) Hoy, Beatrice (Hugh) Hansen, Helen (Brian) McLaren; and brother Norman (Val Jeck); sisters-in-law Darlene (Butch), Tena (Wally); and special friend/adopted brother Mel Hoy, as well as numerous nieces, nephews and close friends. Mike is also survived by his stepfamily Jennifer (Jessie, Destiny and Cole), Angela and Joey (Joey, Justice and Alix), Kyle, Caleb, and multiple family members.
Mike was born in Kamloops B.C. on July 26, 1958. He was raised in Birch Island. At a young age he hired on as a gang worker with the C.N.R. Because of his job he travelled and lived in various places. Mike was well known for his love of family and friends. He loved to entertain. He would give up his chair, get you a drink and make everyone feel individually special. He had a particular fondness for children as they did for him.
Mike loved fishing, gardening, camping, baseball and would have easily become a hobby farmer. He retired from the C.N. in March 2014. During retirement, he used his time to travel and to enjoy doing things he loved to do.
The family would like to thank everyone for their genuine kindness and concern.
Mike will be forever loved and missed.
