Terry Lee Cassidy

Terry Lee Cassidy, age 64, responded to his last fire call on the evening of Monday, May 23. After a hard-fought battle at Parkview Regional Medical Center, Terry left his earthly home to be reunited with his parents and sister at 10:41am on Thursday, May 26, 2022.

A resident of Noble County for most of his life, Terry was born on September 9, 1957 to Raymond and Violet June Cassidy. He was a first responder and volunteer firefighter in his beloved town of Cromwell, Indiana. Proud of his commitment to Sparta Township Fire Department, he deeply valued his friendships there and will be considerably missed by his loved ones on the department. Terry was also an avid golfer. He was fond of plowing snow, fishing, rooting for Notre Dame, and watching NASCAR. He was cherished as a father, brother, grandfather and uncle.

Terry will forever be missed by his 4 children: Michael (Mindy) Cassidy of Claypool, Austin (Tera Sterling) Cassidy of Bremen, Jeremy Cassidy of Warsaw, and Hollie (Caleb) Slowey of Columbia City, as well as his 17 grandchildren.

Also mourning his loss are his sister Karen (Don) Anderson of Kimmell; brother, Robert (Cindy) Cassidy of Mishawaka; sister Diane (Dan) Vande Burgt of Kimmell; sister Pat Fry of Elkhart, and brother Raymond Cassidy of North Webster. He was preceded in death by his father, Raymond Cassidy; mother Violet June Cassidy; sister Debra K. Cassidy and brother-in-law, Don Fry, along with several nieces and nephews.

The family would like to extend their gratitude to Dr. Yoshi and ICU nurses Allie, Erin and Tiffany at PRMC for their compassionate care. Memorials in Terry’s honor may be sent in care of Michael Cassidy to 101 Warner Dr 13, Claypool, Indiana 46510.

A private cremation committal has been entrusted to Yeager Funeral Home in Ligonier, Indiana. A Celebration of Life hosted by the Sparta Township Fire Department will be held on June 4, 2022 from 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM at the fire department.  At 1:00 PM Terry will be remembered with his last call,  presentation of the flag, and the retirement of his helmet.
