Daniel Cassidy Obituary
Danny was a New Year's baby born on January 1, 1988. He attended Our Lady of Angels (2002), Junipero Serra High School (2006), the University of Arizona and was a member of the United Irish Culture Center.
As the youngest of six children, Danny grew up with a passion for competition. As a teen, he traveled on teams within the states and throughout Ireland playing Gaelic (Irish) football and wrestling competitively while attending Serra High School. Danny enjoyed a good meal and could be found at the swankiest restaurants in town, or simply at House of Prime Rib ordering the biggest cut, with extra slices of course. Danny had a vast knowledge on just about everything and sure liked to show it off in a good old debate, a Cassidy special. In Danny's memory, he'd love for you to go for a round of golf at Harding, attend a late night comedy show, or wager a good bet with your family during a holiday card game.
Danny is survived by his father and mother, Brian and Breda (Mehigan) Cassidy, his sister Maureen Faherty (Dave), and his brothers Kevin (Jen), Brendan (Teresa), Declan (Lisa), and Sean (Kristi). Danny leaves behind his beloved nieces and nephews; Elena, Lucy, Ronan, James, Owen, Niall, Brian, and Seanie, who have now lost the best hide and go seek partner. He is also survived by many aunts, uncles, and cousins both here and in Ireland. We will all miss his dry wit and his charming grin and we will always remember the great conversations and many laughs he shared with us.
Friends may visit on Sunday, August 25th, after 1:00pm at Our Lady of Angels Church, 1721 Hillside Blvd., Burlingame, CA, with a Funeral Mass at 2:00pm. Private committal at Holy Cross Cemetery, Colma.

Danny,
Though we have only met on the phone, I want to thank you for being one of the best friends my son has ever had. Through the years you were always there for him. My son told me repeatedly what a kind, caring person you were. You will truly be missed. Thank you for the comfort and support you gave to my son. RIP
A grateful mom

Danny,
I am absolutely at a loss for words. You are so very special to me. Over the past 6 years I have experienced so many 1st times with you. (Paintball, Disco Bowling, SF Symphony @Stern Grove, Americas Cup, Folsom Street Festival, Movies in the Park and on and on.) All of these experiences I would have never had if it weren't for you my friend. Over the past 2 months we were able to reconnect and spend a lot of time together. I will hold those memories with me forever. You were a selfless person putting those you cared about 1st even before yourself.. I will always be grateful to you for literally saving my life not just once but twice over the past few months. I am already missing our daily cups of Major Dickason from Peetes! My life is forever changed because of you. Though we are not biologically related you are my brother in every sense. You will be missed but never forgotten. I Love you Brother.
RIP

My college experience was filled with unforgettable nights laughing with your son and the rest of the Pi Kapp boys. As a Bay Area native, Danny and I bonded over our love of our home and would sing all of the Bay Area songs we grew up listening to. I am heartbroken for your family and send you strength and love during this time. No matter what struggles he faced, I always knew your son as a kind, genuine person who could make a dry remark to make everyone laugh. Thank you for raising him to be that way.
