Michel R. Bonin

BARRE-Michel “Mike” Bonin of Barre, VT (62) passed peacefully at Central Vermont Medical Center Sunday, August 6, 2023. Born on August 11, 1960, the son of Jean-Claude and Ghislaine Bonin of Summer Street. Mike was a “True Barre City Legend”. He thrived with the love of his family and community by his side. A special soul that brought a smile or a joke to everyone he met. Born in a French-Canadian family with Cerebral Palsy, deaf and mute from birth, Mike made the most from what abilities he had. Mike was a huge fan of The Red Sox. If you weren’t a fan, you were obviously on the wrong team! Mike would prepare for each game by putting on his Red Sox attire, cheering for a winning night. Mike had the pleasure of attending several games in his life and meeting some of his favorite players. In 2015, Mike met David Ortiz “Big Papi”, Jason Varitek, Jackie Bradley Jr., and Andrew Benintendi. Mike would often be seen as a regular at Soups & Greens where everyone knew his name and expressed their love for him....
