On Saturday, March 12th Douglas Joseph Cadieux, age 40, passed unexpectedly from this world. He will be remembered by those who knew him as gentle, loving, witty, silly and kind. Douglas had an affinity towards animals and they could sense his gentle spirit. He loved children, fishing, cooking and video games. He enjoyed baking cookies for his family and was a vicious skier. Douglas made us laugh with his unexpected jokes and his ability to make his eyebrows do the wave. Douglas gave the best hugs and had an amazing smile. He ended every phone call with his family with “I love you.”
More than anything, Douglas will be remembered for his love for his entire family. His parents Alice and Michael Cadieux and siblings, Emily Cadieux, Michelle Cakounes & her husband Paul Cakounes, Benjamin Cadieux & his wife Laura Richards-Cadieux, his beloved nephews Leo & Ollie Cakounes and entire extended family members will keep him in their hearts always.
