Charles Wesley Casada, born on June 22, 1950, in Sherman, Texas, passed away on September 1, 2023 with his wife and three children by his side.
On June 25, 1971, he married the love of his life, Deborah Kay Price, in Savoy, Texas. Their union was blessed with three children: Jana Denise Barrett, Jason Mark Casada, and Judith Kay Bowden. He cherished his role as a father and later as a grandfather to Austin Scott Casada, Nathan Bradley Barrett, Travis Ray Barrett, Lyla Grace Bowden, Andrew Daniel Bowden, and Jack Reid Bowden and a father-in-law to Brad Barrett and Daniel Bowden.
Charles graduated from Savoy High School in 1968 and continued his education at Texas A&M University, earning a BS Degree in Agriculture Education in 1972. His dedication to learning led him to obtain an MEd in Vocational Education from Sam Houston State University in 1978.
Charles is survived by his sister, Carole Sue Jarvis and husband Jim. Along with brother-in-laws and sister-in-laws, Becky and Roy Lee Thomas, Tony & Carolyn Price, Pam and Dan Fitzgerald. He also leaves behind a legacy in his many nieces, nephews, cousins, ag science students and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, John Wesley and Etta Sue Casada and his in-laws David and Betty Price.
Charles dedicated 34 years of his life to the field of education as an Agriculture Science Teacher. His impact was felt in several schools, including Axtell Rural HS, Scurry-Rosser HS, S&S HS, Farmersville HS, and Plano Jasper HS. He found immense joy in his roles as an Agriculture Science Teacher and later in his post-retirement position at Animal Care Technologies. He also loved his Aggies, despite them being stressful to watch at times.
He was a member of the Farmersville First Baptist Church and a member of NAAE (National Association of Agricultural Educators).
Charles Wesley Casada will be remembered for his unwavering dedication to education, his love for family, and his commitment to serving his community. He will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Jason and Debbie, we are so sorry for the loss of Charles. Please let us know if there is anything further we can do for your family.
Rest in peace Charles I only knew you were short time but rest in peace. Debbie my heart is with you.
RIP Mr. Casada.
Mr. C was one of the most memorable Ag teachers I had while in FFA in Plano. He helped me with my first pig and I have never forgotten what he taught me. He encouraged me to pursue a job in agriculture when I gradated and I did just that. He was an amazing man that I still look up too.
One very fine individual and a great teacher. He will be missed by many. Prayers for the family.
Charles had a bigger than life personality.He always had a quip that would put a smile on your face.Most of all is he had a good heart ❤️ Rest in peace my friend.
Rest in peace my good friend.
Mr C. Was a great teacher and friend. He was a good friend to my father and they were close. He will be missed
Uncle Charles was my favorite uncle and I have so many good memories of him from when I was growing up. He gave me lots of good-natured grief about living in Oklahoma and told me how proud he was of me, even if I didn’t get a single degree from Texas A&M. In recent years we have kept up by text and an occasional phone call. He always told me he loved me – and signed off with “always have and always will.” My prayers are with all who will greatly feel his passing.
I know that he is enjoying a joyful reunion with Mamaw and Papaw. ❤️
You will be missed

Good ag teacher, good Aggie, good man. A credit to the profession.
Charles was an inspiration to us all and is a shining star in Heaven. He will be dearly missed.
