In loving memory of Son, Father, Brother and Friend Larry Michael (Mike) St. Goddard, who passed away suddenly at the Thomas Baker Cancer Clinic in Calgary, Alberta, on June 10, 2003, at the age of 48 years. Left to cherish his memory are; his loving parents, Merril and Shirley of Dryden, his daughter; Nicole of Calgary, his brothers; Garry (Janice) of Dryden, Randy of Dryden, Mark (Sandy) of Calgary and Cory of West Hollywood, California, and his special and devoted friend; Gloria Solomon. He will also be remembered close in the hearts of his Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Nieces, Nephews and many, many friends. Mike will be remembered for his Zest for life, his wonderful sense of humour, his love and devotion to the Blues. He often wrote his own music and lyrics, loved to jam with family and friends. Mike had many special places, the King Eddy in Calgary, Blues on Whyte in Edmonton, and Jub, Jubs in Calgary where he’d jam with fellow musicians. He loved to go camping, fishing, hunting on his horse and playing his guitar and singing.
Mike was a man you could always count on; he was the truest friend anyone would want. He worked hard all his life, embraced life to the fullest and he enjoyed himself. He was a devoted family man, family was very important to him, as well as, the well being of his friends. He always had a smile on his face, a shoulder to lean on, and arms to embrace you with. He will be sadly missed by all. Cremation has taken place. A Memorial Service to celebrate his life will be held on Friday July 11, 2003 at 3:00 p.m. at the Dryden Community Funeral Home. A private interment will follow at a later date.

A heart of gold stopped beating,
Hard working hands went to rest,
God has you in his keeping,
For he only takes the very best.
Heartaches in this world are many,
But losing you was worse than any.
Our hearts ache with sadness,
Our silent tears flow,
For what it meant to lose you,
No one will ever know.
Your memory is our keepsake,
With which we will never part.
God has you in his keeping,
We have you in our hearts.
The way you looked, laughed and smiled,
All the things you did for us,
Will be with us all the while.
You always did your best,
Your heart was true and tender,
You lived your life for those you loved,
And those you loved will always remember.
