Michel was born in Ottawa and did his schooling primarily in Trenton, Ottawa and Vancouver where his father was posted in the Armed Forces. He later received his CPM designation as a Certified Property Manager, was elected President of the Real Estate Institute of Manitoba and became the driving force for chapter funding. His involvement at the local and national levels for the Real Estate Institute of Canada led to further education at IREM (Institute Real Estate Management) Chicago and then an appointment as course instructor for the same institute.

Besides his participation in sports such as fastball and Nordic polling, Michel devoted his time to parish and community activities, especially The Winnipeg Foundation scholarship program for underprivileged children. In essence, he volunteered where there was a need. Michel was a loving, compassionate and kind man who truly enjoyed spending time with his wife and companion, Lorraine, appreciating the simple pleasures of life.
