CAHILL, Michael John

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Michael John Cahill on January 10, 2022 at the age of 90.

Michael was born in Dublin, Ireland in 1931.  He was predeceased by his father Daniel Cahill and his mother Kathleen Cahill and by his brothers and sisters and brothers and sisters in law.  He is now reunited with his wife René Thérèse Cahill who predeceased him.

Loving and caring father, Michael will be greatly missed by his daughter Karen Cahill (Guylain Châtigny), Isabelle Bessette-Châtigny (Francis Vallières) and little Jules and Arthur who he adored unconditionally.

Michael is also survived by his sister Mary (Joe O’Connor), his brothers Patrick (Paddy) (Roisin Cahill) and Dennis (Totser) (Carrol Cahill), his sisters in law Dolorès (Donald Gagnon) and Huguette (late Gaétan Jean).

Michael will be fondly remembered by his many nieces and nephews, faithful friends and neighbors and all those who crossed his path through his life-long journey.

Family and friends are invited to celebrate Michael’s life on Saturday, January 22, 2022 at 11:00 am at the St-Patrick’s Basilica located at 281 Nepean St., Ottawa, ON.  The family will be present at the Church at 10:30 am on the morning of the funeral to accept your condolences.  The funeral service will be available via the following live-stream link : https://youtu.be/gfowckE2yXo

In lieu of flowers, contributions in Michael’s memory can be directed to the following charities:

• - Ottawa Hospital Foundation
• - Eastern Ontario Children’s Hospital
• - La Fondation de ma vie de l’hôpital de Chicoutimi

Karen and Guylain would like to express their gratitude to the medical team at the Ottawa Hospital who took care of Michael with dignity and respect.

Chère Karen--C'est triste de voir que mon grand ami Mike est parti aprés plus de 60 ans de plaisirs ensemble. Nous avons passés de bons moments ensemble dans les Forces Armées et durants les années suivants, surtout sur les terrains de golf. Il nous manquerait énormément.
Jeannette et moi vous envoyons nos plus sinceres condléances.

Karen et Guylan,

Nos plus profondes sympathies à toi Karen et à Guylan, éprouvés par le décès de Mike.

Nous avons eu le privilège de visionner la cérémonie religieuse et nous associer à l'hommage qui lui a été rendu.

Pour nous, Mike était un Grand Monsieur digne, accueillant et chaleureux. Nous en garderons toujours un bon souvenir.

Si vous venez au Saguenay n'oubliez pas de venir nous voir.

So sorry to hear of Uncle Mike's passing. My condolences to you and Guylain. I'll always remember your dad for his laughter and sense of humour. My father is very sad to lose his friend of 60 years. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
