Claude Edward Cason, born February 3, 1953, passed away on October 7, 2026, at the age of 73.

Claude will be remembered as a man who found joy in life’s simple and lively pleasures. He enjoyed music and football, and he especially treasured spending time with his family. He had a gift for bringing people together, whether through barbecuing, sharing conversation, or simply enjoying a day in the company of those he loved. He also took pride in fashion and delighted in playing with gadgets, interests that reflected both his style and his curiosity.

He worked as a Fork Lift Operator for Martinrea, a role that was part of the steady and hardworking life he built over the years.

Above all, Claude’s family was at the heart of his life. He is survived by his son, Shawn Cason, and Shawn’s wife, Tonya, together with their family. He also leaves behind his grandchildren, Riley Cason, Anna Weekly, and Grace Weekly, who were part of the circle of love that meant so much to him. He is further survived by his sister, Dora (James) Hopson, and his brother, William Cason. May those who knew and loved Claude carry forward memories of his warmth, his presence, and the moments of togetherness he so deeply enjoyed.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Bertha Lee Hill Cason; his father, Archie Cason; and his sister, Mildred Cason.
