In memorial of Michael van der Velden, a most gentle soul.
The passing of Michael van der Velden, CCO of Keune ANZIS, comes with unimaginable sadness.
Michael died peacefully in his sleep on Saturday, October 28th, and though we are filled with sorrow, we remember Mike with immense love and fondness. Michael was the heart of the family and the family business. With an infectious personality and a genuine soul, he had the effortless ability to brighten our days and inspire us. We will miss his kindness and the joy he brought to our family, to his friends and to his colleagues.
We are grateful for the time we had with Mike and can’t imagine a world without him in it. Mike made our lives happier and more meaningful, and losing him is a pain we can barely comprehend.
Michael is survived by his wife Amy and his two sons, Oscar & Mason.
The family wish to thank everyone for the outpouring of support and the messages that have been received. We will remember Mike with love, laughter and never forget his cheeky smile.
Michael van der Velden. Forever in our hearts. Never forgotten. Always loved.
With love,
Hans, Theresa, Frances, Amy

Like a ray of Sunshine after a storm, you always shared a warm welcoming loving embrace with us. You are a honest and loving man, of passion and integrity of which there aren't many. Meeting you was both a privilege and a honor, if only for a brief moment in time. In our hearts as with many who truly knew you, there will always be a void left by your passing. So till we meet again, rest in peace our dear friend.
