Gary Lee Cassell, 68, passed away on June 18, 2020. He was a beloved son, father, grandfather, great grandfather and friend. He was born to Harold Cassell and Lois Cassell on September 19, 1951, in Carrollton, Georgia. Gary graduated from Cocoa High School and attended Brevard Community College. He worked for Gannett Corporation at Today Newspaper for a decade as a platemaker. He recently retired after a 40-year career as a senior draftsman at Kennedy Space Center. 

Gary was an avid reader, historian, and patriot, with a particular interest in U.S. military history, firearms, antiques and was successful at tracing his family’s ancestry. He was a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans and participated in Civil War re-enactments. Over his lifetime, he developed a passion for antique cars (especially Studebaker and Ford), and he loved Classical and Big Band music. He spent years collecting vinyl for the top 100 hits of the 50’s and 60’s. He will be deeply missed by his family and those dear to his heart.
