Nehemiah Kassay

Nehemiah Lee Kassay, 47, of Daybrook, passed away Friday, June 12, 2020, at his home. Nehemiah was born in Fairmont on Jan. 16, 1973, a son of Patty Shriver Kassay, of Daybrook and the late Nehemiah Kassay.

Nehemiah worked as a distribution supervisor at Dicks Sporting Goods and was a member of Bula Baptist Church. Nehemiah was avid in Clay-Battelle sports, where he coached the football team, many of their softball teams and was president of the Boosters for softball. His greatest joy came from following his children’s sports teams. He was a loving son, husband, father, brother and uncle who will be greatly missed.

In addition to his mom, Nehemiah is survived by his wife of over 24 years, Amy Goodwin Kassay; daughter, Caitlyn Kassay, of Daybrook; son, Jacob Kassay, of Daybrook; sister, Milisia Lybarger (John), of Core; brother, Michael Charles Kassay, of Christiansburg, Va.; and niece, Ella Lybarger.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Nehemiah L. Kassay Memorial Fund, 1965 Daybrook Road, Fairview, WV 26570, which will go to support local high school and community sports programs.

A public visitation with the family will be held at McCulla Funeral Home, 770 Fairmont Road from 3-7 p.m. Thursday, June 18. In light of COVID-19, it is recommended that people come and pay their respects and kindly excuse themselves to allow everyone an opportunity to come.
