It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Augie McCauley, on August 5th, due to complications with liver cancer. He was 51. He is survived by his mother Christine Bob, daughters Keri (Kyle) and Kristy, his siblings Francis (Manon), Cheryl (Willy), Anthony and Allan, his nieces and nephews, Melissa (John), Tanya, Jonas (Jamie), Jason, Ava (Po), his one and only grand daughter Zoe, his great niece Khloe, Cheyenne and great nephew Blake, as well as a great many cousins, aunts & uncles and friends that he made over his lifetime of living in Merritt. He is predeceased by his father August McCauley Sr. He was born and raised on Chappern Ranch, but in 1974 he became a long time resident of Merritt. The family invites his friends to join them for a small ceremony that will be held on August 10th at noon, at #230 Coldwater Reserve (Big white house on top of the hill) with lunch to follow. Augie was a son, brother, father, uncle, grandpa and a true friend. Despite how the world saw him, he had a huge heart and was always there.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the B.C. Cancer Foundation in Augie’s name.

At this time, our family wish to greatly thank the Emergency staff and paramedics at the Merritt Hospital, as well as the 6th floor west wing nurses and doctors of the Kelowna General Hospital, for their compassionate care during Augie’s stay there.

We love and miss you “Indian,” always & forever.

Arrangements under the direction of Merritt Funeral Chapel, Merritt, BC.
