Our beloved husband, brother, father, grandfather and friend, Roy Loren Cassity, age 84, passed away at home on Saturday, Dec. 26, 2015, surrounded by his loving family. 
He was born in Tooele, Utah on June 13, 1931, to Edward P. and Arvilla Walker Cassity. He was the fifth of six children. At the age of 14, Roy moved to the Salt Lake Valley after the death of his mother. Shortly after the age of 17, Roy enlisted in the U.S. Army. Upon returning from the Army, he married the love of his life, Antonette (Toni) Thompson in 1950 in Elko, Nevada, and they were later sealed in the Salt Lake LDS Temple in 1961. Together, they raised five children. Roy was very ambitious and set a wonderful example of hard work and dedication. He loved his business “Triple C Trucking” and was always involved in a new project. He had numerous hobbies — stock car racing, trap shooting, bow hunting, bowling, boxing and baseball. He loved his family and enjoyed spending time with them, especially at the family cabin. He was a natural with his grandchildren and always found a way to make them feel special. We will greatly miss his infectious smile, wonderful stories and his legacy of faith, love and devotion to family. He is survived by his loving wife, Antonette (Toni) Cassity; his children, Janet (Ron) Vincent, Charlene (Willie) Tso, Cindy (Randy) Christensen and John (April) Cassity; sister Joyce Weight; 21 grandchildren, 58 great-grandchildren and four great-great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his son Ronald Roy, his parents, sister and three brothers. Funeral services will be held Wednesday, Dec. 30, 2015, at 11 a.m. at the Skyline Ward Chapel, 777 Skyline Drive, Tooele, Utah. A viewing will be held Tuesday from 6-8 p.m. at Tate Mortuary, 110 S. Main, Tooele, Utah, and again from 10-11 a.m. at the church prior to funeral services. Interment will be at the Tooele City Cemetery.
