On his way to a Caribbean cruise, Mirko was struck by a car while crossing the street in Florida. He died two days later in the presence of his beloved wife and children, never having regained consciousness.

He will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 55 years, Mirjana, and their children Ben and Michael (Malini). His grandchildren Martin, James, Victor, Sasha, and Clove were the Jewels of his life and he shared a wonderful family celebration with them just 24 hours before his accident.

Mirko and Mirjana immigrated to Toronto in 1968 from Novi Sad, Serbia and lived a Canadian dream. Mirko worked 25 years as an architect for the Ontario Government before retiring and continuing to serve as a real-estate agent for his community.

His jovial demeanor had him making friends wherever he was, his love of life and nature swept his family into Ontario lake life, camping in his early days, then living right on Lake Couchiching in Orillia in retirement.

Mirko’s huge heart, kindness and generosity touched the lives of so many throughout his long life. He will be dearly missed.
