To Kathy and the Eager Family, Our thoughts are with you on Mike’s passing. He will be missed by so many. Mike was always wonderful whenever we met him at the shop or he was measuring up for carpets and window coverings at our house. A mighty totara has fallen.

Dear Kathy and whanau, there are never any words that can express such sorrow. I met Mike through working at Bartercard and he soon became my mentor, unwittingly 🫶🏾 and friend. One story I have, it was Christmas Eve we had whanau from overseas and moved into room sleeping on a sofa bed. Well one morning my husband and I could barely walk. I rushed into Mike in his store. He looked at me with that cheeky grin of his and said, “Marlaina it’s Christmas Eve are you asking for a bed be arranged to be dropped to your house today and take away the sofa bed?” I just nodded in hope. You guessed it, yep it got done and he did it himself. Mike was a man of immense integrity, inspiration and so much love for our community. When ever I strolled into Mikes office he’d look up and before I spoke would start laughing and say, what escapades are you getting me involved in this time. We had so much fun, so much laughter and so much business. He had so much heart for small businesses owners such as myself. I have so many stories I could actually write a short novella. Mike you may have left our world, you will never ever, ever be forgotten and your stories will keep you alive in our hearts until we join you.in heaven🙏🏿🫶🏾

We were deeply saddened to hear of Michael's passing, our long-time flooring supplier and friend from RJ Eagers. Over the years, through Shed Boss, Urban Frame and now MetroPad, he was always an absolute pleasure to work with. Nothing was ever too much trouble. He genuinely cared about his customers, always loved a yak, had a smile, a laugh and went the extra mile. He was one of the good ones. Honest, kind, reliable and simply a great bugger. Our thoughts are with you Kathy, Matt and family and the entire RJ Eagers team at this incredibly sad time. xx

He had a wealth of knowledge and was always happy to share this knowledge. RIP Michael. Sending our thoughts and prayers to Kathy and family.

So sorry to hear of Mike’s passing. Great times at RJ Eagar many years ago. A very generous and caring employer who always had your back. Good for a laugh and a chat, even after we parted ways. My condolences to Kathy and the family.

I have been very lucky to have called this wonderful man “Boss” for almost thirty years, Michael you were a person who genuinely cared about the people you employed, you always enquired about the health and wellbeing of your staff and our families, and provided gift baskets and goodies to us when we were going through tough times. They say a business is only as successful as the people it employs which is partly true, but I think we have been very fortunate to find a business owner who cared about us as much as you did. The next generation have a lot to live up to but I am sure they will be up to the task! Thank you Michael for everything you have done for us – Christmas functions will never be the same ! We will miss you.

I was so saddened to hear of Mike's passing. He was such a great guy and always had time for a chat and a laugh. I have such fond memories of the Luxaflex trips we shared together with you both. Those were wonderful times that I'll always cherish. Thinking of you and your family during this incredibly difficult time. Sending you all my love, strength, and heartfelt condolences. ❤️ Mike & Val

The Eagar boys were very keen cyclists and an inspiration to all of us! Roy would allow Mike to drive us to bike races in the old Commer van wherever they were - never a problem! See you on the other side Mike - Rest in Peace. Trev.
