Antonio Cacaro Obituary
Tony enjoyed a simple lifestyle; he was an avid equestrian, farrier, and trainer. He loved nature, outdoor adventure, creating music, art, singing and a good story.
Tony was born November 4, 1976 in Brown County Ohio. Tony is the 4th child, and only son, of Steven Cacaro and Joan Kyde.
Tony is survived by his mother Joan Kyde, of West Union Ohio, Father Steven (Tina) Cacaro, of West Union, OH Sisters: Dawn (Byron) Brodt, West Union, OH, Rachel (Darrell) Sterling, of Shelbyville, KY, and Rosalie (Tim) Smith of Fayetteville WV. He also leaves behind several nieces and nephews, as well as many great nieces and nephews.
Tony was a 1995 graduate of West Union High School. Following High School, Tony completed Farrier School in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Tony practiced his trade locally, and throughout various western states, while breaking, training and riding horses of various disciplines. Tony eventually made his home in California, in addition to Monarch, Montana, and originally West Union, Ohio. Tony was employed through the California State Park. Tony never met a stranger and left behind many friends. Tony enjoyed learning about others, their culture, languages, sharing a meal and enjoying company around a campfire.
Private services will be held at the convenience of the family under the direction of the Thompson-Meeker Funeral Home in West Union.

We met Tony in Pa. while he was galloping horses for hall of fame trainer, Jonathan Sheppard. Tony was very good handling young thoroughbred horses and he galloped some for us too. In 2002 Teddy Smith (horse trainer} passed away. Tony continued to help me with the horses & dogs while galloping for 2 other barns. He boarded a Grey thoroughbred with us named Chuckie. He was a good friend and even sang some songs with my mom, while she was staying with me. Then he decided to move to California. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. God Bless.

Tony didn't need a paddle. He used a shovel. He lived life his own way and improvised with everything. God bless his soul.

Tony was an amazing person and my best friend for many years. He was loved by many and an inspiration on how to treat others. In many ways he was the most Christ like person I have ever met. He will forever be missed.
