Hodges Josberger Funeral Home
Michael Barry Cassady passed away surrounded by loved ones on February 10, 2024. Mike
was born in Hopkinsville, KY, where he attended "Hoptown High" as he liked to call it. He
graduated from Western Kentucky University with a degree in finance. Mike launched his
long-standing career directly out of college at Liberty Bank. He eventually moved to
Louisville where he secured a position as Vice President of Citizens' Fidelity which further
down the line turned into PNC. At 50 years old he moved on from PNC to pursue a happier
life in the commercial real estate industry. This allowed him to enjoy one of his favorite
hobbies, playing golf almost daily with his friends. His passion for golf was passed on to
his son who he often reminded of his 2 hole-in-ones, compared to Hunter's zero.
Mike loved to spend time at his home in Florida, to relax and take the boat out. He was an
excellent craftsman, that could figure out a way to build just about anything. Mike had an
un-paralleled wit and if you spent enough time with him, you'd undoubtedly leave with a
nickname, however, none that would rival his beloved Luvbunny, Emma. Mike was a
brilliant man that lived with conviction, led with wisdom and always left room for humor, as
evidenced by the laughter shared with his family even in his final hours.
Mike is survived by his wife Emma Howard, his children Hunter Cassady (Shana), Lisa
Bauer (Jeff), his grandchildren Caroline, Jack, Ramsey, Georgie, Beckham, and his sister
Suzanne Hardison.
A Celebration of Life will be held at Audubon Country Club on Sunday February 25, 2024,
from 1:00p - 3:00pm.
