Michael Edward McLeod, 48, of Moncton and formerly of Saint John, passed away peacefully at his residence on May 8, 2026. Born in Saint John, he was the beloved son of Phyllis (Snider) McLeod and the late Dennis McLeod.
Michael will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered for his kind and gentle nature, as well as his easygoing sense of humor. He had a quiet way of making people feel comfortable and cared for, often lifting spirits with a simple joke, a shared laugh, or his warm smile. His presence brought warmth, kindness, and a sense of ease to those who knew him.
Family meant everything to Michael. In recent years, he showed extraordinary selfless devotion in the care and support he gave to his mother. His kindness and unwavering presence meant more than words can express, and that love will always be remembered and cherished.
He shared a very special bond with his sister, Tracy, and took great pride in being an uncle to Emily and Lillian. His nieces held a special place in his heart, and he treasured every moment spent with them—whether it was sharing laughter, offering guidance, or simply enjoying time together. The love he had for them was constant and deeply felt.
He is survived by his loving mother, Phyllis; his sister, Tracy Saunders (Jerry); his cherished nieces, Emily and Lillian; his stepmother, Francine McLeod (Monique (John) and Marc (Crystal) Pelletier); as well as aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends who were fortunate to know him and will miss him dearly.
Michael was predeceased by his father, Dennis McLeod; his paternal grandparents, Edward and Winnie McLeod; and his maternal grandparents, Clement "Jack" and Myrtle Snider.
The family will receive condolences at Frenette Funeral and Cremation Centre, 88 Church Street, Moncton (506-858-1900), where the funeral service will be celebrated on Saturday, June 6 at 11 a.m. Visiting hours are Saturday from 10 a.m. until the time of the funeral. Interment will take place at Cedar Hill Cemetery in Saint John on June 8 at 11 am.
