Michael James "Mike" McKenna (12 Mar 1958 - 23 Aug 2024)

Thinking about you all the time Michael. We had so many fantastic times. The funeral service was wonderful. The eulogies very special. The Mckenna family should feel very proud and I'm here if they need me.

So saddened to hear of Micks passing.
A wonderful guy

Massive presence, massive heart and a massive loss to all that knew him and loved him, RIP mig man alway in our thoughts ❤️❤️

Michael my first love! My condolences to his children, Pat and Siobhan. Rest in peace hon 💋😥

Mike was a wonderful man who always had a smile on his face and something nice to say. Thanks for always ringing the bell for last orders when I was too nervous to, he will be really missed.

If only the world were full of diamonds like Big Mick

Dear Mike, you had my back at Italia 90, you hid me upstairs at The Vic when Stoke came to the ‘Wall in anything but peace, but more than anything you were one of the kindest, gentlest, loveliest, funniest men I’ve had the privilege to learn from and work with in this industry we used to call advertising. Rest in peace Mike. X

I'm so sorry to hear this very sad news, I only heard yesterday and was unable to attend the funeral. I worked for Mike when he was the ECD at an agency and I have such fond memories of him, he had a brilliant sense of humour and sharp wit and had so many hilarious stories. Always remember one particular story when he was shooting a car commercial in the desert with orangutans and there was a thunder storm, the animals went nuts and headed straight for the tallest thing around - Mike! Perhaps more than his humour though I remember how gentle and kind he was and he just had a way of being that meant he was an absolute pleasure to be around so it didn't often feel like work. RIP Mike

What a wonderful service for Big Mike and what a turn out (no surprise).
The tributes were fabulous and so heartfelt ❤️
He was one of my CDs back in the day when I was an AM on Heinz- always a joy to work with.
Since then we kept in touch via our "Cod Whattsapp group" where he loved sharing a meme - The group feels very quiet without him :(

A gentle giant. May he rest in peace

Met Mike briefly many years ago, then had a good laugh with him 6 weeks before he passed, on a visit to the Vic, mainly to see Pat. Very sad loss, still relatively young, suddenly. A shock for his family & everyone that knew him. RIP Mike.

Thanks Mike for always being generous, friendly and funny. We will miss you loads. Deepest condolences to Pat and all the McKenna family

RIP Mick

Rest in peace Mike

Mick, I have been dreading this day for weeks. There are just no words. Al.

A small token for a big man

In memory of Michael

Mike the world is a lesser place without your presence, your wit, your humour and your kindness. It was a privilege to know you.
