To The Hanrahan Family;
I am deeply saddened by the passing of Micheal.
I have so many found memories of him.
Remembering his wonderful and gentle soul will forever remain in my heart,
Nobody can understand how hard a separation is...as much as you now,
May God put him in a special place where he will be watching the people who loved and cherished him,

I was extremely saddened to learn of the sudden and tragic passing of our friend Michael Hanrahan. I first met Mike while studying film at Ryerson University. I have many great memories of him and our time at Ryerson.
Although I hadn't seen Mike in person in a long time, I talked to him over the Internet pretty regularly. We had many interesting discussions about film, screenwriting, music, politics, and life in general. He always had an interesting perspective on such topics, and I will miss our online conversations.
Mike had many talents, but I think one of his greatest talents was his sense of humour. No matter what was going on in the world, Mike could always make you laugh. He had a gift for finding humour in everything life invented. I will deeply miss our friend Mike, his big heart, and his great sense of humour. The world won't be the same without him.
I send my deepest condolences to all of Mike's family and friends. Everyone who knew Mike will never forget him. He was a unique individual, and a very kind man.

It is with deep sadness that I found out today about the passing of Michael. He was a good friend when we were in school together and had a fantastic sense of humour. I used to stop by in Smith Falls occasionally to meet with him after we all went our own ways after school.
Mike was a big hearted guy and I'm sure he will be missed a lot by those who knew him well.
I would like to offer my sincere condolences to Michael's family and friends.

Just found out this morning that my dear old friend, Mike Hanrahan, has passed away in his sleep. Of many witty and "moderately" sarcastic classmates, Mike was the funniest. He was also one of the most talented and the one with the most gentle and tender heart and, to prove that point, we even went to a Sade concert together, just the two of us.
Mike was a filmmaker, an artist at heart, who, for financial reasons and security decided to abandon his passion for film and turned to accounting. While I think accounting is a noble profession and can be extremely creative, I'm of the opinion that it didn't fulfil him creatively and it probably broke his heart to say goodbye to his dream. I know he did continue to write screenplays but doing so while carrying on a full time job is extremely difficult.
The last time I talked with Mike on the phone, was in January 2016. I was in Toronto with Jeff Renfroe and we were trying to get him to come and see us but he didn't want to. It was the umpteenth time we'd tried to bring him back into the fold and finally he told us that the reason he didn't want to see us all was that he'd become "obese" - AS IF WE CARED. All we wanted was to see our old friend, to spend time with him, to remember old times and celebrate new times.
Mike, I'm pissed off because you didn't come see us and I'm pissed off because you let go of your passion and I'm pissed off because you're gone now and I'm pissed off at the events/life/people who pushed you away from your true calling. I understand Mike died from heart failure in his sleep but I think, again, his heart was broken a long time ago. Dear Mike, thanks for everything: Ren and Stimpy, all the "cookies", Jane's Addiction, Golden Griddle, The New York trip for New Year's 89, the tickets you got for us at Massey Hall, Hans and Franz, the help with the essay on f.... Kipling, editing my final film (hell, helping out on all my films), long talks into the wee hours of the morning (sometimes after the habitual tea ceremony, we liked tea), Denis Leary, everything, you big bear.
I miss your smile, your laugh, your humour and your hugs. But I've been missing you for a long time and we could have seen each other last year. How many times did I try to get you out of that cave you retreated into? You're so smart, brilliant. How did this all happen? Ahhhhh. KIDS: Follow your heart, don't break it. Life is short, it truly is.
I love you, Mike. Maybe now you can visit. Just follow the Aurora, I have the cabins ready for you. At least one of them is yours. We can listen to Sade ... and drink tea.
My deepest condolences to the family. I wish I could be there. I truly wish. We have lost a wonderful human being and a great spirit. A true child of god.

I'm so very sorry for your loss. Mike and I met at Ryerson in 1989 and became fast friends. We spent 4 incredible years making movies together, including my 4th year final film which he edited. And it was Mike who was behind the wheel when a bunch of us drove to New York city for New Years eve in Times Square - mere weeks after we'd met. He drove 10 hours straight without a break. We had the most wonderful time. But those are just 2 of countless fantastic memories of Mike I will always cherish.
Mike was a very special guy with a wicked sense of humour and infectious laugh. My wife shares the same birthday as him - 6 April 1967 - and because of this they always referred to each other as brother and sister.
Mike's Ryerson family of friends are all shocked and saddened to learn he's gone. The numbers of people touched by his generosity, kindness, talent, friendship and sense of humour are legion and none of us will ever forget him.
You are all in our thoughts.
