Mass and funeral services will be held to honor the life of a Caltrans worker who died on the job.
Maintenance Leadworker William Casdorph fell nearly 60 feet off a State Route 163 overpass in the early hours of September 19.
He died an hour later, and now an entire community is coming together to celebrate his life.
On September 29, a service will be held at Glen Abbey Little Chapel of the Roses at 5 p.m.
The following day, a mass at Our Lady of Guadalupe and a committal service at Glen Abbey Memorial Park will be given.
Secretary of the California State Transportation Agency Brian Annis and Caltrans Director Laurie Berman will be in attendance, according to a Caltrans spokesperson.
Governor Jerry Brown has not said whether he will or will not attend at this time. Though, he did release a statement saying, Casdorph was “a dedicated public servant who worked to make our roads safer for nearly two decades.”
Casdorph was described as a “man of honor and a man of his word” in his obituary.
He worked for Caltrans for 19 years and was based in Kearny Mesa. He leaves behind a wife and three daughters.
The flag that was flown at half-staff at the California State Capitol will lay on his casket, according to the assistant location manager, Terry Moody.
