JONATHAN CADIEU Obituary
Today the most beautiful blue eyes closed for the last time. My son Jonathan Robert Cadieu passed away March 14th, 2024 at the age of 49, from brain cancer in Penticton, BC. Born in Thunder Bay, ON, June 4, 1974 he was always an adventurer, embracing and seeking the next thrill. After graduation the west coast of BC called him and this is where he called home. Jon skied every mountain in Alberta and BC with his favourites being Red Mountain and Big White. If he was not skiing in the winter, he could be found at a golf course or floating down the Penticton Channel and walks with his wife Suzy in the evenings at Skaha Beach. Jon's greatest thrills and adventures were riding his motorcycle and skiing down mountains without a care in the world. Jon is survived by his devoted wife Suzanne Gaudet-Cadieu, step children Madison & Jacob Schreiber, mother Adele Sinnemaki, sister Robyn-Leigh Cadieu, nieces Brooklynn White and Londynn Cadieu (The Bridge Sisters) his in-laws Paul & Dianne Gaudet, brother-in-law Mark (Wein) & children. Aunts & Uncles Dennis & Linda Sinnemaki, Rod & Laurie Metz, Carol & Stan Oracz, Arlene Haapsala, Mae Tuorilla (late Stan), Dan & Lisa Zupansky, Doug Zupansky. Predeceased by father Robert Cadieu, stepdad Dave Zupansky and grandparents Bill & Laila Sinnemaki, Sylvia Pretula, Eldon Cadieu & Delorese Robinson. Jon also leaves behind his many cousins and a larger devoted group of friends who have been with him till the end. A celebration of life will be held in Penticton, BC with a family gathering in Thunder Bay at a later date. A sincere thank you for everyone's support during this sad time, and to his medical team and excellent staff at Andy Moog & Friends Hospice House. In lieu of flowers keep smiling and laughing each day.
Soar high my boy till we see your beautiful smile again…forever loved in our hearts

From listening about Jon from his mother Adele who kept us up to date in Thunder Bay it is with heartfelt condolences that she kept herself strong on the outside but so sad inside. No parent wants to have a child pass before them. My condolences to Robyn, Brooklynn and Londynn.

My deepest sympathies to Adele, Robyn, Suzy and your families for your huge loss.
Jon had a way about him that everyone loved. He was contagiously funny, sarcastically humorous, and extremely loveable. You will be missed. Rest in Peace Jon.

A warm heart, a superb wit and a disarming smile, the Jon I knew.

Adele and family - so very sorry for your loss. I don´t ever remember meeting him in Thunder Bay. After reading your wonderful tribute, he certainly lead a full and active life - unfortunately cut way too soon. Love to you all.

Suzy, Mrs. Cadieu, Robyn, extended Cadieu family and Jon's many friends everywhere - please accept my deepest sympathies.
I met Jon in Spring of 1991 playing basketball somewhere near Oliver Road (thanks Jay W for introduction). This led to Jon hooking me up with my first job a couple months later, and getting to know Jon better.
Jon was unlike anyone else I've ever met. We drove around TBay listening to the best music with 2 house speakers occupying the backseat. A couple years later, Jon took root in the infamous Winnipeg Ave basement apartment where he hosted all sorts of chaos. Some unforgettable times, his hot tub parties, Adam Sandler movies and constant blasting of punk rock seem to stick out most.
Jon headed west, a couple years later I made my way to Southern Ontario and we fell out of contact.
Somewhere in mid 2000s we reconnected through email/phone and we've been able to stay in touch ever since. I was grateful to meet Jon again in summer 2008 housboating in BC, along with several other people who mean a lot to me, and once again at Darryl and Mel's wedding in TBay. What great times.
Jon really lit up rooms. Myself and so many others are fortunate to have known him.
Jon probably would not want us to be sad. But we are- we are very sad at this loss.
