Pat St. Michael
Founder, Former President
Pat began his journey in the insurance industry back in 1992, starting out with Mutual Life of Canada. After honing his skills and finding success with the Mutual team, he took the bold step of founding St. Michael Insurance. With a primary focus on life insurance, Pat quickly made a name for himself as a trusted broker. Over time, he expanded his services to include group benefits and disability insurance.
Beyond his achievements in business, Pat was a true leader in both the community and on the ice. As a coach and captain, he found fulfillment in mentoring others, particularly his children in their athletic endeavors.
Pride filled every aspect of Pat's life, from his health and hometown to his friendships and family. He took pride in working alongside his daughter Mary Ann, and building a successful insurance company, knowing that his clients would be well taken care of for years to come as he transitioned into retirement.
Above all, Pat's happiest moments were spent on his beloved pontoon boat, surrounded by his kids and seven beautiful grandchildren. He will be remembered fondly in these cherished moments, clad in his t-shirt, shorts, shades, and a beaming smile—a testament to the legacy of love he leaves behind.
