MARC (CAREY) CAUTHERS
It is with heavy hearts that the family of Marc (Carey) Cauthers announce his sudden passing on Sunday, April 30, 2017 at the age of 48 years.
Left to cherish Marc’s memory are his wife Tani Miki and their daughter Aïda. He will be deeply missed by his parents, Robert and Lorraine; Tani’s parents Art and Keiko; brothers Christopher (Paula) and Nicholas; brothers-in-law Geoff (Cheryl) and Jon; nieces Courtney, Emerson and Alex; nephew Jesse and numerous extended family members.
Marc loved to travel, and in the early 90s, he moved to Birmingham, England where he lived for two years. He always cherished his time there, making many close friends and going back to visit over the years.
Upon his return in 1993, Marc achieved a Bachelor of Fine Arts with Honours in painting from the University of Manitoba, followed by a Bachelor of Education from St. Thomas University in Fredericton in 1995. He held numerous teaching positions in Canada and abroad teaching English and French. His love of travel contributed to his amazing ability to communicate in five different languages. Marc was a kind, empathetic teacher and mentor, especially to the at-risk youth that he worked with. He also held positions as a residential treatment worker assisting people with developmental disabilities.
Marc was passionate about art and music and many of his beautiful and intriguing paintings are prominently displayed in his home and the home of his parents. He was an avid guitar and bass player, playing in several bands in Canada and the UK.
Marc was a doting father to his baby daughter Aïda (15 months) sharing a special bond with her that was like no other. The time that they spent together was precious and left a lasting memory for Aïda and for his family.
Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Friday, May 5, 2017 at 10:00 a.m. in St. Timothy Roman Catholic Church, 135 John Forsyth Road with Rev. Fr. Gerry Ward presiding.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to the Winnipeg Police Service and to the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service, specifically the members of Paramedic 36, Engine 12, Medical Supervisor 73, and the EMS Superintendent for their professionalism and compassion during a difficult time. Additionally, many thanks to Rhonda and Dr. Gallagher at St. Boniface hospital.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made for Aïda to ‘Tani Miki’.
