Michael Rini

Michael will be deeply missed by his mother Lynn Rini, his father James Rini, his siblings Joseph (Dominika), Nicole (Adam), Danielle (Tristan), and Madison, and his nieces and nephews Jakob, Noah, Kylie, Trevor, and Maya. He will also be deeply missed by his grandfather Michael Rini along with a large extended family of aunts, uncles and cousins and many dear friends. Michael will also be greatly missed by his girlfriend Amanda. He was predeceased by his grandparents Phyllis and Arthur Cowper and Jeanette Rini.

The first 4 years of Michael’s life were spent in downtown Toronto, before the family moved to San Diego, California where he attended Stella Maris in La Jolla, Ca. until the end of Grade 3. Upon his return to Toronto, he attended St. Cyril's Catholic Elementary school. He attended St. Michael’s College School for his high school years ( 1996-2001). He was extremely active, and his passions from an early age were soccer, skiing, and football. He excelled in all three at St.Mike’s, enjoying the camaraderie and strong bonds he developed with his teammates on both the soccer and football teams. He graduated as the 2001 Athlete of the Year. He then attended York University, starting a degree in Kinesiology and playing 2 seasons of varsity football.

Michael loved to ski, and was a fixture at the North York Ski Centre for nearly 20 years, where he shared his passion for skiing as a ski patroller and instructor. Mike valued the friendships and relationships he formed while working in a number of outdoor professions over the years.

Michael had a heart of gold, was fiercely loyal and loved his family deeply. He adored his nieces and nephews and cherished his time with them. He was sociable and fun loving, anyone who knew Mike would come away with a story to tell. He touched the lives of many people and will be greatly missed. Our world will never be the same without him.
