Cayetano Daus

His father Alfredo Daus, Sr. and mother Maura Dumpit Daus died when he was 12 years old. An aunt, Christina Daus, a teacher, raised him and his 5 other siblings thereafter.

He received a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering at Mapua Institute of Technology, Philippines and a Master‘s Degree at Eastern Michigan University, Ypsilanti, Michigan.

He was Director of Plant Facilities, Hurley Medical Center, Flint, Michigan for many years. He taught at Baker College Flint, Michigan. He rose from the ranks and was one of the very few Filipinos to advance to the rank of senior executive staff position at Benguet Consolidated Mining Company, Philippines, which was American owned.

He was a Fourth Degree, Knights of Columbus, and usher at St. Joseph Husband of Mary Roman Catholic Church, Las Vegas, Nevada. He was a member and officer of Toastmasters International for years.

Cayetano had the courage, foresight and strength to bring his young family to a new country and fulfill his dreams he had for them. His lifetime of endless love, sacrifice and hard work for his wife, children, grandchildren and beloved extended family of siblings; nephews and nieces, cousins and more have thrived and succeeded because of his dreams. Yet, he remained the kindest, gentlest and most humble of men. Anita was Cay’s PILL (Partner In Life & Love). This PILL was very addicting. You see, they have been married for 58 years.

Cay will be surely missed for his many talents but most of all, his yummy gourmet dishes he willingly and lovingly prepared for all of us. Our tummies are grieving.

He is survived by his wife, Dr. Anita Dacpano Daus; daughter, Liza Stolnicki; grandchildren, Jonathan Daus, Kristen Daus, Justin Daus, Cee Cee Daus, Sam Masters, Whitney Stolnicki, Dalton Stolnicki, Nathan Stolnicki, Lily Daus, and Ella Daus. Siblings, Thelma Jose and Linda Daus; in-laws, Robert Stolnicki, Penny Eskue Daus, and Theresa Solaski Daus; many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his sons, Dr. Patrick Daus and LTC Cliff Daus; parents, Alfredo Daus, Sr. and Maura Daus; aunt, Christina Daus; sister, Aida Daus; brothers, Ernesto Daus and Alfredo Daus .

He was cherished and loved by a large extended family. He left this earth with a rich soul and a heart full of love. We love and miss him very much.
