William Paul Cassels was born June 1, 1955 in Cairo, GA, the son of William Edwin Cassels and Virgina Armentha McClelland Cassels. He was a graduate of Cairo High School. Paul was employed in the maintenance department at Birdsong Peanuts. He was a member of Southwest Baptist Church and resided in Bainbridge for the last six years.

Paul loved; he loved his family, especially his children, his church where he sang in the choir, and most importantly his Lord. He opened a restaurant in Calhoun County that captured who he was, “Nothin’ Fancy”. Paul’s down to earth demeanor made him easy to talk to and he never minded lending his ear. In his spare time, Paul enjoyed fishing or anything outdoors.

Survivors include his children, Mallory Cassels, Morgan Cassels and his wife, Kalia, Caleb Cassels, Gabriel Cassels, Caprice Moore and her husband, Eddie, Jonah Cassels, Titus Cassels and Zion Cassels; his mother, Virginia M. Sellers; his siblings, Becky Stokes and her husband, George, of Ellerslie, GA, Gloria Hurst and her husband, Ronnie, of Thomasville, GA, Sharon Chason and her husband, Kenny of Whigham; his grandchildren, Malachi, Kaden, Lillie, Emily, Kenzlie and Zelda; and his former wife, Renee Cassels. Paul was preceded in death by his father, William Edwin Cassels; his step-father, Frank Sellers; and his brother, Lem Cassels.
