It is with the heaviest of hearts that we inform you of the passing of our beloved Mike Zakiewicz. He was a cherished father and grandfather, a wonderful husband, brilliant accountant and advisor for so many, and a generous, kind member of our community.
We will be gathering to celebrate his life, share some of our favourite memories, our stories, to laugh, to cry and remember an amazing man who will be greatly missed.
During this difficult time, our family, friends and community finds solace in the presence and support of those who loved him. Your presence would mean a great deal to us as we navigate this profound loss.
The Memorial Service will take place between 1 - 2pm and the Reception will be from 4pm. Both will take place at St Pauls, Old Ford, Bow.
The Committal will take place at Manor Park Crematorium between 3 - 3:30pm for those who wish to attend. Capacity at this venue is limited to 54.
Mike believed in celebrating life. Please do not feel obliged to wear sombre clothing.
