He will be lovingly remembered by his siblings: Gleston (Essie), Maureen (Keith), Desmond (Carmel), Elise, Marcia and was predeceased by his brother Clifton.

Cedric will be forever remembered as a proud father to Talithia (Marti), Cedric Jr. (Laura) and Torrell (Melanie). He will be remembered fondly by his special friend Karen Koch.  He had an infectious laugh and was truly an unforgettable man who lived each day to the fullest. A lifelong car enthusiast, Cedric’s passion led him to serve as both President and Vice President of the Corvettes of Western Ontario, where he built lasting friendships and celebrated his love for driving. He had retired from the Ford Motor Company Talbotville Assembly Plant.

The family extends special thanks to the dedicated staff at Victoria Hospital for their compassionate care.
