It is with the utmost sadness that we share the passing of David Field Cassady, a devoted husband, loving father and brother, cherished uncle and friend to many. David passed away peacefully on August 14, 2016 at Surrey Memorial Hospital in British Columbia. In 1972 he moved his entire family to Vancouver, British Columbia for an opportunity to work at CKWX 1130, where he worked on the news desk and was the “man on the street” for many years. This led to work at CJAZ FM and CFAX news in Victoria as well. David is predeceased by his wife of 53 years, Anna Marie Cassady (Friday), his Brothers Rollo (Hoppy) Cassady, Jerry Cassady, and Claude Cassady, Jr., his Sister Genevieve Cassady (Johnson), and his step son Mark Lee Felber. He is survived by his son Christopher George Cassady and daughter in law Michele Cassady (Sikorra), step son Thomas Felber, and brother Rexford M. Cassady along with many nieces and nephews. The family would like to extend their sincere thanks to the hard working nurses at Surrey Memorial Hospital, Ward 3 East, for their dedicated and compassionate care during his final weeks. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. In memory of David donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society,
