Born on January 30, 1960, in Timmins, Mace lived a life defined by compassion, dedication, and a genuine love for the people and activities that brought him joy. Above all else, he was a loving husband to Réanne and a proud father to his son Jace. His greatest happiness came from the simple moments shared with his family, whether cheering from the sidelines, gathering around the dinner table, or creating memories that would last a lifetime.

Family was at the center of Mace’s world. He treasured every gathering with loved ones and never took those moments for granted. His warmth, generosity, and willingness to express his love openly became some of the greatest gifts he gave to those around him.

Timmins Community Remembers Mace Soroko, A Life Dedicated to Family, Teaching, and Inspiring Others

For many years, Mace dedicated himself to teaching as an elementary school educator. He had a special ability to make children feel valued, supported, and capable. His patience and encouragement left a lasting impression on generations of students and families who were fortunate to learn from him.

Outside the classroom, Mace’s passion for golf became a defining part of his life. As a golfer, instructor, and coach, he shared his knowledge and enthusiasm with players of all ages. Through children’s golf camps and coaching, he taught much more than the game itself, inspiring confidence, perseverance, and sportsmanship.

Those who knew Mace will always remember his unforgettable laugh — a sound that brought energy and happiness wherever he went. His joy was also found on the water, where he enjoyed fishing and creating stories that friends and family loved to hear.

Mace valued friendships deeply. He enjoyed evenings filled with conversation, laughter, shared meals, and time spent with those closest to him. Poker nights, sports conversations, and gatherings with loved ones were all opportunities for him to celebrate life and connection.

A lifelong sports enthusiast, Mace could often be found following his favorite teams and sharing his excitement with family and friends. His passion for sports, the outdoors, and community reflected the enthusiasm he brought to everything he did.

He will be lovingly remembered by his wife Réanne, son Jace and Nadia Dagenais, his brother Bob and Marlene, extended family members, friends, former students, colleagues, fellow golfers, and fishing companions.

A celebration of life will be held on Thursday, July 2, 2026, at Spruce Needles Golf Club from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Donations in Mace’s memory may be made to Sports for Kids – Timmins.

Though the golf course may be quieter, the fishing rod still, and the laughter missed, Mace Soroko’s love, wisdom, and unforgettable spirit will continue to live on through everyone whose life he touched.

He will be deeply missed, forever loved, and never forgotten.
