Caine was born to James and Linda Comegan on March 3, 1990 in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Fond memories of Caine come to mind when he was a cute baby boy with his big brown "goo-goo" eyes and perfectly round cheeks. His dashing smile could melt anyone’s heart.

Grandparents James and Lorette White-Bird, Grand Uncles Richard, Raymond and Joe Bird, Jimmy and Cecil White.
He attended Rainy River High School and was presently finishing his grade 10.
Caine was a remarkable young person with courage, strength of mind and character. He was blessed with a great heart and constantly made his family proud in whatever he put his mind to. He had a great work ethic with a get up and go attitude. Caine learned how to commercial fish at a young age by going with his Dad out in Lake of the Woods. This tradition was passed from his grandfathers, great grandfathers and great-great grandfathers. Caine always kept busy, he learned from his Mom how to grow a garden. His first harvest as a young boy was a field of cucumbers. He also loved to hit golf balls into the river, biking on the rez, cooking and barbecuing. His family nicknames were "Coiny", "Newborn", "Goo goo" and 7lbs. 3ozs".
