Obituary of Dean Harold Raymond Cassidy

August 11, 1975 – Peterborough, Ontario

November 21, 2024 – Calgary, Alberta

Dean Cassidy, beloved husband of Theresa Cassidy (nee Webb), of Calgary, AB, passed away on Thursday, November 21, 2024, at the age of 49 years.

Dean was born in Peterborough, ON, on August 11, 1975, to James and Bonnie Cassidy (nee Johnston).

He graduated from college with a degree in multimedia and graphic design and moved to Calgary, AB, to start his career.

In 2010 Dean married Theresa and they had a very happy life together with many tears but mostly laughter, even on the toughest of days.

Dean had a love for hockey, which led to him volunteering as a coach for the Calgary Youth Ball Hockey League.  He often spoke fondly about his players and their families, remaining in contact with many of them through the years.

One of Dean’s great passions was movies and cinema. Not many can say they had their dream job, but when Dean and Theresa purchased the Mayfair Cinema in Olds, AB, he lived his dream as owner and proprietor of a small-town movie house.

Dean loved to travel. By car or canoe, he sought adventure wherever he went. His trips through the Caribbean, Mexico, and the UK were highlights. He will be most remembered for his easy nature and sense of humour. 

Besides his loving spouse, Dean is survived by his stepson, Carmen McBride of Calgary, AB, and his brother, Jeff Cassidy of Peterborough, ON.

Dean is also survived by Brian and Bebe Webb, Bill and Marie Hamilton (nee Webb), Robert Webb, Stephen Webb, and Doreen Coreman of Calgary, AB, along with many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

Dean was predeceased by his parents James and Bonnie Cassidy.
