Brian Scott McCauley

Brian S. McCauley, age 65, of Mather, California, passed away peacefully on April 5th,

with his daughter holding his hand and his loving family spread across the country

holding him in their prayers.

Born in 1965 to James and Evelyn McCauley, Brian grew up an athletic and intelligent

boy and graduated from Winnebago Lutheran Academy. Brian joined the Air Force

shortly after graduation and settled in Mather, California. That is where he met and

married his loving wife, Siriwan, and raised their daughter, Natasha. After serving in the

Air Force, he began his career with the California Department of Corrections and

Rehabilitation. Brian graduated from the CDCR Academy at the top of his class. He

received multiple honors over his tenure and retired after 25 years.

To the world, Brian was a jovial, endearingly loquacious, and lighthearted man, but to

his daughter, he was a pillar. He was the father who was always there and the man who

taught her that dedication and loyalty were true expressions of love. He was a true

sports enthusiast, with the highest regard for his Green Bay Packers. He loved classic

rock music and a comfy recliner. He loved his pets. But no love compared to the years

he spent holding the hand of Siriwan, the love and light of his life. Weekends at home

were energized by the sounds of Judaist Priest, Ozzy, The Grass Roots, and so many

others. The smell of the BBQ grill going and the loud music playing will forever fill

Natasha’s joyful memories of her dad.

Brian’s legacy may not be found in history books, but in the hundreds of smiles he

brought to so many faces with his good-natured sarcasm and humor. He was kind and

gentle. He will be deeply missed.

He is survived by his daughter, Natasha; his stepmother, Bonnie; his nephew, Dylan; his

aunt; 3 uncles; and cousins. He joins his parents, James and Evelyn; his brother, Kevin;

and his beloved wife, Siriwan, in rest.

A celebration of Brian’s life will be held on May 31 at 12:00 PM at Mango’s Cantina. We

will come together to honor his memory, share stories, and remember the moments that

made him so special to all of us.
