Brian Michael Cashman

Brian Michael Cashman, 79 of Bristol, passed away peacefully on Thursday, January 16, 2025 at Southington Care Center.

 Born on December 15, 1945, in Hartford, Brian was one of four children born to the late James J. and Victoria (Vaznain) Cashman. He graduated from Hartford High School before continuing his education at Central Connecticut State University.  Brian enjoyed many years in retail and customer service, making his mark at various companies including Pratt & Whitney, JC Penney, Pilgrim Furniture, and Radio Shack. He was known for his uplifting personality and his genuine ability to connect with people, leaving a lasting impression on everyone he met.  A lifelong, die-hard Red Sox fan, he found great joy in cheering for all of his favorite teams, especially the Sox and the UConn Huskies. He was always there to lend a helping hand to friends and family, radiating positivity and warmth in every interaction. His presence, optimism and selflessness will be sorely missed by all who knew him.

He is survived by his son, Kevin Cashman of Bristol; his sister, Margaret “Peggy” Manfredi and her husband, Joseph of Westerly, RI; his sisters-in-law, Lucia Cashman of Avon and Celeste Cashman of New Britain; one niece and many nephews.  He was predeceased by his brothers, James Cashman, Jr. and William Cashman.
