Michael McCauley Obituary

Michael Forrest McCauley of Baton Rouge went to be with our Lord on Friday, October 7, 2016 at 60 years of age.

He is survived by his loving wife of eight years, Sarah Betz McCauley; two sons, Eric and Geoffery; one daughter, Rachel McCauley; brothers, Mac McCauley (Sharon) of Winchester, Virginia and Thomas McCauley of Front Royal, Virginia; sister, Carrie Snow (Jay) of Toms Brook, Virginia; numerous nieces and nephews; and countless dear friends.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Henry Franklin McCauley Jr. and Alice Frederick.

Mike was the owner of Bayou Tobacco - a longstanding business in our community where many entered as strangers, but left as friends. He was also a Road Tech for Pop-A-Lock of Baton Rouge.

An LSU graduate, Mike was passionate about his Tigers, the Red Sox, fine tobacco, and history.

Visitation will be at Rabenhorst Funeral Home, 825 Government Street, Sunday, October 16, 2016, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.

A memorial service will be held immediately following visitation officiated by Deacon Brent Duplessis.

Mike was one of the "Good Guys" in this world. His greeting was with a twinkle in his eye and an "inside joke" sort of smile which always made me feel welcome.
I hurt for Sara, Mike's Family, and Mike's Friends. We will miss him.
The world is a colder place without Mike.
Godspeed My Friend!
