MACAULY, Dr Scott Macaulay

It is with deep sadness that we announce the sudden and peaceful passing of Dr. Scott Ball Macaulay at his home in Goderich, Ontario, on Sunday, August 24, 2025, at the age of 74.

Born in Clinton, Ontario, Scott was the son of the late Royce and Clara Macaulay. He was also predeceased by his sister, Mary Black, and his brother, Doug Macaulay. Scott attended high school in Clinton before proudly pursuing his passion for healing at the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto, where he graduated in 1973. For 52 years, he devoted his life to chiropractic care, building a successful practice and a legacy of compassion, dedication, and unwavering care for his patients.

Scott had many interests outside of his profession. A talented bagpiper, he played with several bands over the years, including the Teeswater Highlanders Pipes & Drums, and the Peel Regional Police Pipe Band. He was a lifelong learner who found joy in reading, studying, and staying active through exercise. Throughout his life, Scott was also involved in many sports, including hockey, slow pitch, running, swimming, and biking. He will be remembered for his passion, his endless curiosity, and his quiet contentment in his own company.

Above all, Scott was a devoted family man. He is survived by his loving wife of 35 years, Wendy Macaulay (Botz), and his cherished children: Marsha Harris (Jeff), Drew Macaulay (Shelly), Trevor Macaulay (Tara), and Brittany Taylor (Derek). He will be lovingly remembered by his grandchildren, who brought him immense pride and joy: Loch, Alden, Grayson, Cole, Molly, Walter, Ben, and Cam. He is also survived by his nieces and nephew: Susan, Lynda, and Nancy Black, and Lisa and Ryan Macaulay. Scott especially cherished the time he spent with his niece Lisa and her family.

Scott’s kindness, wisdom, and humor will be deeply missed by all who knew him. His legacy will live on in the lives he touched, both personally and professionally. In lieu of donations, Scott would want you to celebrate his life by taking care of yourself and those you love.

A gathering to celebrate Scott will be held at Butterfly Park, 243 Blake Street, West in Goderich, Ontario on Sunday, August 31st, at 1:00 p.m. We welcome all pipers and drummers to participate. Please bring a chair.
