Dearest friends and colleagues,

It is with heavy hearts that we share the news that Michael passed away peacefully on Sunday, September 21, 2025, after a courageous three-and-a-half-year battle with cancer.

Michael lived his life with an unwavering commitment to helping bring others together to better themselves, their community and their careers. He believed deeply in the power of connection, and he dedicated his career to helping others discover the strength and opportunity that comes from building relationships.

Known as “North America's Networking Guru,” Michael touched the lives of countless individuals and organizations, always ready with encouragement, wisdom, and a generous spirit. He prided himself in being open and available to help anyone and everyone.

Beyond his work, Michael was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. His greatest joy came from spending time with family, relaxing at the family cottage, and contributing to various charitable causes in the Ottawa community.

A celebration of life will be held in his honor at a later date, and details will be shared when available.

With gratitude, The Hughes Family
