David Cassell Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Georgia Cremation - Columbus on Dec. 21, 2025.
David Glenn Cassell, 66, of Richmond, Virginia, passed away peacefully on December 19, 2025, with his loving wife, Donna, by his side.

Born on October 16, 1959, in Richmond, Virginia, David was the son of the late Robert Glenn Cassell and Mary Lee Cassell.

David dedicated much of his life to serving others. Over the years, he volunteered with local fire departments, the Red Cross, police reserve units, and the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary. Those who had the privilege of knowing David understood his deep calling to give his time and talents in service to others. Helping people was not simply something he did-it was who he was.

In recent years, David joined the Anglican Order of Preachers and was actively pursuing his theological studies, continuing his lifelong journey of faith, service, and learning.

David is survived by his wife, Donna; her children, Meredith (Wes) Sprinkle and Michael (Jennifer) Anielski; three grandchildren, Elizabeth, Zachary (Jenn), and Allison Sprinkle; his siblings, Larry (Karen) Cassell and Lisa (David) Valeka; along with many extended family members and friends whose lives were enriched by knowing him.

A celebration of David's life will be held at a later date, in accordance with his wishes.

David often said that his life was blessed because he had known each of you.
