Michael ANTICICH Obituary

So sorry to hear of Mikes passing only just after I learned of his illness.
I first met Mike in the mid 1990s at AA House checks and found him to be very professional, knowledgeable and friendly at all times.
Our paths crossed again in 2006 when I became involved with the Flashman company and again was impressed with Mikes professionalism over the next 12 years until Mike retired from the company.
We always got on extremely well and had very similar views on many topics that helped the company grow to where it is today and I am extremely proud to have had a contribution towards Mikes dream.

From the first moment I met with Mike I knew he was supernatural. He became my Spiritual father. He thought me so much through the years. I am so thankful for everything he gave spiritually. He was such a strong man of God that I never seen anything like this before. He was extraordinary loving person.
I loved talking to him, he gave me peace even when my whole World was broken. He meant the whole Word to me.
I will miss him forever on Earth but will meet again in Heaven! I love you so much Mike!

Dear Suzi and family, I am deeply sorry for your loss! I will keep you in my prayers forever until I live. I'm very blessed to know you and your family! Sending you big hugs and prayers to comfort your hearts.

Mike was a lovely brother in law of ours for many years. He used to come to our farm and stay with his wife Marie, my siste,r and Suzi and Dan on many many occasions. We all had fun times and they loved to be with their cousins Michelle and Steve who were a few years older. Mike used to love to play tennis on our grass court with Bob , play the guitar, cook yummy cakes and tell funny stories, he was always great company. We will miss you Mike and our deepest sympathy and love goes out to all the family especially Suzy and Dan and may he now Rest In Peace much love Aunty Anne and Uncle Bob Moir

Dear daddy Mike,

I met your voice before your smile, through your prayers all across the globe.

So far way yet so close.

Months later your big huggs melted my soar heart.

Ever since you had become a trusted voice in my world, a tangible hope that good man following Jesus' heart and values truly existed.

Thus, settling for less become impossible. On bad days, your daughter and yourself where a deep source of hope that Jesus was not forgetting about me.

When this special arrived, you naturally came to bless my wedding of your presence, your wisdom and your jokes.

I am forever greatful to have had a daddy there somewhat on that day, and to have your voice and full message recorded.

The generosity of your words always knew how to meet my heart.

Meeting you right after my wedding you told me something like:

'Gwladys I had no doubt about Rubin with all good things I have heard about him, but you know what sold the deal for me? The way this fine young man kissed you on your wedding day. He didn't jump the 'I do' on your lips, rather he first gently kissed your forhead, that gesture said it all'.

Coming from you, was another confirmation that despite all God didn't forget about me.

I am deeply greatful to have met you, deeply greatful for your prayers all over the years, deeply greatful for your presence at my wedding, deeply greatful for your presence in my sister and deeply greatful for all the wisdom you generosity shared directly with us or through your amazing daughter Suzanne.


I don't say that likely, God revealed himself through you.



Daddy Mike,

Thank you.

I ll never forget you.

Gwladys.

( with love from Rubin, Yaya and baby Liam)

Poppa Mike, we love you and we miss talking to you and your kind voice and caring words. We loved sending messages to you in New Zealand and looking at your photos of Lions and Eagles and flowers and art and potatoes and pumpkins. Carmen (8) says `when you prayed for her she felt good inside´ and Vienna (9) says `when I think of Poppa Mike I think of Kindess´. It was special to know you as our family friend for a decade and we are blessed to have enjoyed the power of your attention and encouragement and mentoring in faith. You have left behind an enormous and growing and beautiful legacy in our friends Suzanne and Damola and Aviana. I will always remember how excited a tiny Aviana was to talk about her beloved Poppa Mike and share him with her friends. We are comforted by knowing you are pain free, roaring and soaring high.

Love from Christina, Vienna and Carmen.

Our deepest condolences to the Onadeko and Anticich family. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

We are so thankful for Mike and the love and care he showed us. Personally praying and encouraging us - he took a big and genuine interest in us!

We remember pictures of his beautiful garden with wild flowers and delicious baguettes, kind voice notes and various jokes he sent!

He will be missed and always appreciated.

Much love Jules and Diz xx

Papa Mike, as we called him, was such a gentle, kind, thoughtful person. He always took time out to encourage us and let us know he was praying for us.
His passing has come as a complete shock as I never knew he was unwell, until his last few days. I guess he didn´t want to burden me with such news, which goes to show the type of person he was. On New Year´s Day, I sent him a message to which I added "this will be your best year yet". He responded right away with "that´s the spirit Brenda Amen". Off course I didn´t know what he was going through.
Looking back now, I know this is the best year yet, for him. Because I know he is now in Heaven. God bless you Papa Mike, Rest in Perfect Peace

I remember when Elijah gets ill when he was one and a half years, at that time I didn't know Michael personally but was close to Suzanne. As soon as Mike heard that my little boy was in pain he send me a voice mail prayer who instantly calm down my boy who was crying.
Since then it as been an honour to have conversations and prayer sessions with this incredible man.
He was a man of God and an extraordinary friend to me, I am really going to miss him.
Suzi thank you to share his love with me, I am truly sorry for your lost.
May God be your refuge and your strength to get through this sadness.
Love from Wesley, Elijah, Jennifer.

My heart breaks to hear of your Papa Mike's passing. He will always have a special place in our hearts. Absolute prayer and faith warrier - even from across the world he had a profound impact on our lives. I will specifically cherish and remember the time and prayer at your Windsor house Sooz, Damola and Avi some months before our wedding, when he prayed for us so powerfully.

Mike had a heart of gold and was always ready to pray and love on others. We will miss you, Mike - but we will see you again, when it's our turn to come home.

Im sharing the last message we recieved from Mike in December, as one thing I'm sure we will always, ALWAYS remember him by, is his faith and love for ABBA father.

PH 2:13. IF we manage to surrender and stop struggling, the life of the, Godseed in us.... will develop, grow blossom and bear beautiful fruit with seed in it to reproduce in like manner until Jesus returns.

Sending you all our love and condolences.

With Love,
The McQuade Family

Dad, Big Mike, Poppa, you are immeasurably beloved by us. We thank God that you are now pain-free and full of joy. You loved us deeply, with much kindness and grace, and we are better people because of you. You know how much we loved you. We will be talking about you, remembering you, as long as we live on this earth. I had you for 46 years, Damola for 8 years, Aviana for 5 years. It wasn't long enough for any of us. But, one day, we'll be together again. Farewell, beautiful Michael Anticich. Suzanne, Damola, Aviana.
