Matthew Ian Cassell "Boomhower"

On August 26th at 8:04pm Matthew was in a tragic dirt bike accident and grew his wings. Taken far too soon at 30 years old. Matthew was a beloved father, son, husband , brother and friend . Born to Cynthia Evans and Ronald Cassell on February 25th 1991 in Winter Garden Florida. Matthew had a beautiful life and was on his path to reaching all of his goals. He leaves behind his wife Kearstin, 8 year old Son Colton; his sisters Magen, Macie, Kaitlyn, & Julia. Brothers, Mitchell, Tyler, & John. His parents Cynthia, Ronald, and John. And many friends who adored him. Matthew certainly left a mark on a lot of peoples lives along his journey. If you knew Matthew Cassell you knew he had such a special heart . He was either the biggest sweetheart or there to push your buttons & get a rise out of you. Ive never met anyone who could match his energy. I believe if theres anything we can do to honor his memory it is to take time out of each day to do something kind for someone . No matter how busy he was or what kind of grudge he had for a moment , he would make time if it meant helping someone out. He always said “ i dont do this because it makes them happy, i do it because it makes my heart happy.” As ive grown with him, i can definitely attest to that statement. He has guided me away from the path of self righteousness. By being an example, and i could never say thank you enough for that. We all can agree Matt was not a fan of expressing his love with words to many people . But he always made it a point to show you. “Acts of Service” was his love language. We have watched him help a stranger push their car miles down the road. Leave the house in the middle of the night to go help pull a buddy out of a mudhole , mowing the grass at an abandoned field, or stopping in the middle of the highway in the pouring rain to help a stranger fix their car. Never asking for anything in return. And honestly the list could go on… Never once did he ever complain or come home and say he regrets anything. It always made him feel so good even if it was taking the heat for something he didnt do . He always had your back. He was truly the most thoughtful man I’ve ever come to know. He loved to show his sweet side but definitely didn’t like anyone to mention it. Always striving to keep his “manly” reputation. Matthew always had a soft spot for children. When Colton was born, Matthew’s life took on a whole new meaning. He was the kind of father who always put his son first in everything he did. He held his hand and let him follow his own path , supporting him to the fullest. There for every baseball game, Soccer game, & every karate tournament. Coaching him , and cheering him on. Matthew taught him immeasurable life skills and lessons in such a loving , gentle way. Colton never had to question where his daddy stood in his life. At the end of our own lives it doesnt matter what you had, or how successful you were. It matters how you treated people. If there is anything we all can take from his tragedy it is , do something kind for someone. Love one another as it was yourself, without condition. Matthew took a piece of all of our hearts to heaven with him that day. His memory will forever live on to be honored, and his presence will always be missed. Until we meet again.
