Used to be I looked forward to news. After all no news is bad news! Right? Well imaging my surprise when I opened my email today to be told of the memorial service for Meeks the Clown.

MEEKING Michael Douglas June 16, 1961 – June 16, 2008 On his 47th birthday, Michael “Meeks The Clown” went to be with our Lord Jesus. He passed peacefully with his wife, Jody, and children Kyle, Alex, Brady and Kayla at his side. We will always remember Mike’s fun-loving smile and huge heart towards everyone he knew. We appreciate his courage and strength, which has given us the ability to continue to smile and laugh as we carry on. A celebration in Michael’s honour will be held on June 28th at Jericho Hill Centre Gymnasium (4196 W. 4th). Service will begin at 1:00 pm with a casual family picnic to follow. Bring your lawn chairs, blankets, and lunches!

I only met Meeks once, but he made such a huge impression on me. Not only as someone that I admired as a fellow entertainer, but as a gentle person who was great with kids and people in general. I’m sorry to hear that he’s gone and wish I could have learned more from him.
