Brady Cassidy

Clinton-Brady William Cassidy, 8, was called from this world to be with the Lord on Wednesday, June 25, 2025. He is survived by his mother, Shaunna McGovern and her husband Brandon Smith; his father William J. Cassidy; maternal grandparents, Noreen McGovern and John Schultz; paternal grandparents William E. Cassidy and Maureen Cassidy; paternal great-grandfather William H. Cassidy; his step-sister Layla Smith; generations of aunts, uncles, cousins, extended family, and many dear friends. He is pre-deceased by his maternal great-grandparents, Paul & Claire McGovern, and his paternal great-grandparents, Joan Cassidy, John and Sally Boothroyd.

Brady recently completed the 2nd grade at the Clinton Elementary School, where he was making amazing progress living with autism. He was full of wonder, resilience, and had a spark that made every room brighter. His love for nature, his growing curiosity, and his unstoppable determination inspired everyone around him. Brady was blessed with genuine kindness, empathy, and a fun-loving personality that endeared him to his friends, classmates, and teachers. Among Brady’s countless interests and enjoyments, he loved music, dancing, swimming, dogs, cats, dinosaurs, penguins, sharks, Paw Patrol, and Disney movies. He was a whiz on his iPad, enjoyed cold popsicles on warm summer days, Hot N’ Spicy Cheez-Its, jumping on the trampoline, swinging on the swings, and taking walks through Central Park.

Brady’s family wish to thank the many relatives, friends, and community members for their continuous love and support. Brady will forever live on in the hearts and memories of us all.
