LETHABY, Michael…
We are saddened to announce the unexpected passing of Michael Lethaby, of London, on Saturday, November 29, 2025 at the age of 75.
Michael was predeceased by his parents Gladys (nee Partridge) and Lawrence “Bert” Lethaby. Dear brother of Carol Lee (the late Larry), the late Kathryn Lee (Gary), Debbie Jackson (Paul) and the late Steven Lethaby. Michael will be deeply missed by his daughter Jessica Hanna, her two daughters Rylie and Fiona and his niece April.
Michael enjoyed the simple pleasures of life, especially reading a good book and listening to his favourite music. He devoted his career to teaching and later social work with at risk youth, taking immense pride in knowing he made a meaningful difference in the lives of the kids he supported. During his time at Western University, he loved wrestling and staying active. Michael was deeply involved in his sister and brother-in-law, Carol and Larry’s lives, offering steady support as they navigated the challenges that come with aging.

I am so sorry for your loss. Michael was the smartest and kindest and funniest person I have ever known. I’m glad that he got to enjoy a few years of retirement. He truly enjoyed the simple pleasures of life. Music reading exercise good food and his beloved crossword puzzles. He was a great friend to me for 30 years and recently thanks to technology I talked with him daily. I miss him deeply. He made a positive mark on so many lives. He will be missed. He made the world a better place. He is truly irreplaceable ❤️
My most sincere condolences to Michael’s family. I’m Very saddened to hear of his passing. I knew him back from my WAYS days when I first started in 1999. He was great influence with his wealth of experience in the field of Youth Services to a person like me just starting out. Thank you for all your support you showed me. Rest In Peace Michael.
So sad to hear this. He certainly gave a lot to the world in an unassuming honest manner. I appreciated his work as an actor in some of our bands performances as “Leo Dejanero” the assistant of “Les Vegas”. A very generous and giving fellow and I’ll miss him a great deal.
