Tex Cassady, age 65, of Florala, slipped into eternity and into the arms of his Savior on Monday, April 12 at Andalusia Hospital. He was born July 6, 1955 in Florala to Noah and Macy Cassady.

In his early years he learned the value of hard work pulp wooding and logging with his daddy. About 20 years ago, Tex became his own boss when he started Cassady Construction. Through the years he built beautiful homes for customers as well as family. Today he's enjoying the mansion the Lord built for him in Heaven.

His hobby was hard work, taking care of his family and meeting their needs by doing whatever needed to be done right up until his last day.
