CAYWOOD, Aaron
1976 – 2025
It is with deep sadness and love that we announce the passing of Mr. Michael Aaron Caywood, who died suddenly on Saturday, August 30, 2025, near Red Deer, Alberta, at the age of 48 years. Aaron, as his friends and family called him, was born on September 21, 1976, in Red Deer, AB. He was a loving father and partner, a loyal brother, and a proud son. In his professional life, Aaron began his career in Oil and Gas in the late 90s, working on the Drilling Rigs. He then went on to build a career as a pressure control field expert, which eventually led him to a management position with Weatherford Canada, where he worked for just over 20 years in various roles. Aaron had most recently been working in the field as a pressure control supervisor for Gateway BOP in Red Deer, AB. Throughout his life, Aaron consistently demonstrated a fierce dedication to his friends and family, a steady presence, with an unwavering advocacy for what he believed to be right, all while showing deep care and attention for those around him. Whether in his work, among friends, or with family, he left a lasting impression through his kindness, sense of humor, and unwavering support.
Aaron is survived by his daughter, Kendyl Caywood; stepdaughter, Ciara Versluys; ex-wife Amber Caywood; his sisters Cindy Caywood, and Julie Millar (nephews Cole and Ethan); his stepsisters Barbara and Meagan Sobol; his mother, Janet Simmons; his father, Barry Caywood; his stepmother, Helen Caywood; his girlfriend Chantelle Fournier and her family, as well as numerous dear friends. Aaron was predeceased by his grandparents Don and Anita Fisher, and Florence and Grant Caywood; his brother-in-law David Millar (April 2022); and his stepfather Gord Simmons (May 2025).
A Memorial Service will be held to honour Aaron’s memory at Parkland Funeral Home in Red Deer, Alberta, on September 30, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you take a moment to reach out to someone you love. Memorial Donations in Aaron’s honour may be sent directly to the Canadian Cancer Society at www.cancer.ca, or to a charity of your choice, just as Aaron would have done.
