It is with broken hearts that the family of Michael Joseph Jaillette announces his passing in the early hours of April 2, 2026, at his home. Born in Saint John, NB on May 15, 1969, Mike lived his life rooted in hard work, dedication, and forming deep connections to the people and things he loved.
Mike is survived by his loving wife Cindy (nee. O’Connell) of 25 years; stepfather Lloyd Morrow; sister Cindy McNeil (Jeremie Bujold) and Jennifer Morrow (Phil Jarvis); mother and father-in-law Linda and Hazen Webb; brother-in-law Andrew (Jody) O’Connell; Aunt Jeannina and Uncle Gilbert Martin, Aunt Jean and Uncle Hughe McLaughlin, Aunt Gail Hooley, and Uncle Bev Nice; nieces and nephews: Damian Cogswell, Brooklyn Jarvis, D’Andre Jarvis, Mindy Lanteigne (Stephanie Guitard), Roch (Kaitlyn) Lanteigne, and Sarah Caseley; as well as many cousins and friends.
Predeceasing Mike was his adoring mother Norma Morrow, his aunt Mary Nice, his Aunt Freda and Uncle Raymond McIvor.
Mike took great pride in his career as an industrial mechanic with the City of Saint John for 17 years.
A true lover of music, Mike enjoyed listening to all genres and playing his guitar. Finding simple and peaceful moments to relax and unwind, Mike would sit in his garage – door open on nice days – with a hot cup of coffee in hand, listening to whatever music struck his mood.
Mike had a deep love for animals, and him and Cindy cherished their fur babies deeply. Their two cats Tigger and Abbie, and his loyal dog Bear.
Mike was also an avid sports fan, enjoying UFC fights and watching his favourite hockey team, the Edmonton Oilers.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to all the staff and doctors who helped Mike. Your care and compassion will always be remembered.
