Michael John Root (5 May 1955 - 24 Dec 2016)

We are so saddened to hear of the passing of such a wonderful and caring man. You put up a good fight Mike, but now you must finally rest. Heaven has been blessed with another angel. Rest In Peace xxx

I had the pleasure of serving Mike his earl grey tea for a number of years. His cheeky smile and sense of humour will never be forgotten.
Sleep tight Mike, may you rest in peace.

My thoughts go out to his family, thinking of you all ❤

A Dear friend of our family.

We all think so highly of Mike and he will be in our hearts and minds forever. Always happy and smiling even in the face of adversity. A great loss to all that knew him. Rest up Mike, you deserve it. Love and peace to all your family and friends. You fought a good fight. God bless xxx

Im so sad for your loss.june.katie.gemma an families.i met mike when my brother starting dating your katie. Mike you were a true gentleman,always had a smile on your face for us. You were such a brave man to go through this awfull illness.my thoughts were with you often.be at peace now.much love to you all.xxxxxxxxxxxx

Mike was without a doubt, one of the most genuine and friendly men you could have had the pleasure of meeting. I got to know Mike and June over the 5 years I worked at the local pub, and always use to look forward to our weekly catch ups after they'd taken the dogs for a walk.

He was always there to listen to my problems and was always so supportive of me and for this, I am so grateful.
He will be greatly missed by many x
Thinking of you all at this hard time. Keep strong, you know how proud he was of all of you x

Mike was such a Lovely gentleman! Always took the time to say hello and Always remembered me even though it was really my husband that knew him. Xxxx Love to his Family xxx

12/04/76 was a memorable day when I met Mike. He endured much in his life but, it was never about him, It was always about the love and pride he had in his family.
One of the funniest, most positive people I ever met. Certainly the bravest, as it was never, 'why me'.

We were never in each others pockets, but just picked things up where we left off whenever we spoke. I will miss him.
The world has lost a special person.

My heartfelt sympathy to June, who stood with him through thick and thin and his girls and extended family, of whom he was so proud.
Over 40 years Mikey. Never to be forgotten John

To mike all our love kate and Leighton Jones xxxxxx

Mike myself & Kingsley enjoyed many enjoyable evening putting the world to right in Marks & spencer's over a coffee or tea in your case we both miss our little chats and often still looked out for you hoping one day you would be sitting there you will be sadly missed. Our thoughts are with your family especially June Katie & Gemma who we also had the pleasure of meeting over a coffee. Goodnight God bless Mike always in out thoughts

Mike - How I remember my many visits to see you all and winding you up by always defending the girls and their actions. It used to make me laugh when you said 'stop it' but of course I didn't stop.
You have fought bravely for so long but now it's time for you to rest, although I'm sure you will still watch over June and the girls, but I warn you, I will still defend them!!!
My thoughts and love are with you June, Katie, Gemma, Simon, Spencer, Jack, Jessie and Will.
A sad and difficult time but I'm sure happy memories will help you through. xxxx

Mike was a good friend from the day he joined the Police Service - a character and a clever man, always with a smile on his face. we'll miss you mate.

So sad to hear this news, Mike was such a kind and happy man. Our thoughts are with you all xx

Good night god bless Mile loads of happy youthful memories of growing up and being us x

So sad, I remember Mike working with my late husband Tom, in Canton, he was a lovely funny gentle man, one of the old boys, my condolences to you June, and the family xx

For the past 5/6 years I had the pleasure to serve Mike an excellent pot of tea made by myself, no milk though may I remind you to then becoming a friend and a man who was so kind and too cheeky to ever keep out of your memory.


The family in itself has always been an absaloute pleasure to speak too down Porthkerry Park where Mike loved to commute for a good old chin wag over a cup of tea with me whilst June was walking the dog even mention the other customers but I won't say if you won't ? All I have to say to anyone that new Mike it's never a goodbye it's a see you later, as he will never be forgotten by so men. All my love to family ?
