Mike traveled with our rugby teams on many occasions. Always with a smile and a word of encouragement or celebration, he was a class act--kind, good-humored and great to talk to. He will be sorely missed.

It was always great to have Mike as a referee; there were pregame chats, a couple of extra calls that went our way, and some constructive feedback for next time. Thinking of Viki, Dan, and their mom at this time; may your special memories of times spent together provide strength and comfort in the weeks ahead.

My deepest condolences to the entire family for your loss.
Mike”s outgoing personality endeared him to the entire soccer community, in not only the Niagara region, but well beyond. He is one of the few officials that was able to maintain such a positive relationship with the players both on and off the pitch. I always enjoyed being in his company. He will be missed.
Truly,

I am greatly saddened to hear about Mike. He did always put a smile on my face, offer coffee and always made you feel like family! He took my students and I to many places, and always returned us safely. I will treasure our time and dining hall conversations. My condolences to the family, he was a great guy.

Our sincerest condolences to the Cvetanovic family. Everyone at Ridley loved Mike as their bus driver including my oldest daughter. He would go the extra mile and drive our JV girls hockey team to the nearest door so that the girls did not have to lug their equipment far. He was always willing to help so much so that he would run our defense door at games. On the soccer front, I was fortunate to have Mike line a game for me and I also had the privilege of lining a game for him in our last full soccer season. In both those games, Mike provided good advice in dealing with the various situations. He always made sure I would register each season and provided me with the latest laws of the game. I will miss our soccer conversations and his generosity. May he rest in peace.

Mike’s energy and enthusiasm as the bus driver for basketball and hockey teams I coached at Ridley was infectious. A competitive spirit, great sense of humour, and adored by players and coaches, Mike listened and paid attention to detail. When you spoke with him, he was totally in the moment. He saw the good in everyone. When my dad had a lengthy stay in the hospital, Mike’s smile, guiding light and offers for coffee touched my family. He had an incredible ability to touch everyone’s heart and open it to love. There is no question Mike was at spiritual service to make the world a better place - and he did!
My sincere condolences to his family.

Mike had a heart of gold and was always giving of his time, even with such a busy schedule. I worked with him at the hospital and then he became a volunteer for the foundation, helping with many events. It didn’t matter what you needed he would always find a way to help. He loved arranging the poinsettia sales for the staff at the hospital and would work overnight to make sure everyone got their plant right in their office. When I moved to HDS he would come visit, always with a coffee in hand, asking about my family and sharing pictures of his grandchildren. I will truly miss those chats but I feel blessed to know Mike and call him my friend. My deepest condolences to his family. I hope the cherished memories you have bring some comfort in the difficult days ahead. Rest in peace my friend.

I would like give my condolences to the Cvetanovic family. The photo I attached is one of the fondest memories of my time with Mike. This photo was taken in October, 2019, following our First Team Soccer semi-final win away to Appleby College. Mike was our bus driver that day and I remember seeing him sitting in the stands cheering us on, on such a wet, cold, dreary day. When we won, Mike came over with that charismatic smile of his, and gave each of us high-fives and congratulated us on such an important win. Mikey had a heart of gold that transcended his physical being in this world. He will be forever missed by myself and my teammates of the Ridley College First Soccer Team of 2019-20. Rest in peace, Miroslav Cvetanovic.

I just wanted to take a moment and give my condolences to the Cvetanovic family. I knew cika mike as being a super nice man and was always kind to me as a child and that continued on as I got older. I will always remember the bus trips to Buffalo to watch hockey games, cika mike was kind enough to drive us all over to enjoy ourselves at the game. But don’t be late to the bus! You’ll be walking home! Unfortunately I haven’t been able to see him last few years as we moved to alberta but I’ll never forget him. Rip cika mike you’ll be missed.

To Mike's family:
I can only image what an incredible husband, father and grandpa he must have been. The pictures you shared were so heartwarming. I got to know him when he was reffing my sons' playing soccer, cheering them on together on the sidelines and around Ridley. He always had such kind things to say about my 2 sons, which he kept an eye on. However I never got to tell him what an impact he had on them. Benjamin and Nathan both spoke so sincerely about what a wonderful individual he was, patient and kind.
At Benjamin's grade 12 graduation, Ben and Mike had a special moment together.
I send you our family support and wish you all health and strength.
I am truly saddened by your loss.

Thank you Mikey for being a close family friend.
Thank you and Danny for allowing me to play soccer with my knee brace that was helping my MCL heal. No other refs would have let me play with it on. You saw my passion for the game and let me play as long as I didn’t use it as a weapon.
Thank you for all the fun and safe bus rides with the Ridley hockey girls.
The Ridley hockey and soccer family sure misses you! Some great memories. Go Tigers Go!

I first met Mike as Mr. Cvetanovic. Danny's dad. I was only 8 years old. I played on the same soccer team as Dan. As years passed I got to know him through soccer as a parent, spectator, referee and colleague. He was one of the most respected men I have ever known. My father thought he was one of the best referees in the business. Countless Wednesday nights at Roma where we watched him perform his craft. He also worked with my Nonna at the hospital. I'll never forget him visiting me in the hospital as a child because he promised Iolanda he would check in on me. That was the kind of man he was. I later joined the referee ranks and always kept him in the back of my mind as an example of how to do the job correctly. He commanded the respect of the players on the pitch and I feel confident in saying if they had a choice they would choose him to officiate their match. I will always remember him as Mike Cvetanovic the man who had the respect of everyone he met. He earned it with kindness and honesty. Two virtues my father had and Mike did too.
My deepest sympathies and condolences to the entire Cvetanovic family.
Nico Marino and family.
