My Sincere Condolences To The Family Of Herman McCaskill !!! And I’m disappointed I’m just finding out 😔!!!We met many years ago and he’s always been considered a good friend had an amazing singing voice!!!! Blessings 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I never knew you very well, back in our Keenan Days, BUT- You always held a place in my heart.

Love and BLESSINGS to the McCaskill family. Let your Memories be your Strength,- for We Shall all see each other again in Almighty GOD’S time.- JC/ Class of 1977- Keenan Raiders !!
I was so sorry to hear about Herman’s passing. It seems not that long ago when we were care-free children attending Gill Creek Baptist Church on Sundays and Ms. Ollie would smile and share stories about her handsome sons.
Bro. McCaskill was a great man of God. He would always have a smile on his face and encouragement to give to others. He was faithful to doing the work of the Lord. His love for people was felt both inside and outside the church. I admired his gift of singing with the choirs of GCBC throughout the years. My condolences to his children and family. May the peace of God be with you today and many days to come.
Stanley and all of Herman’s family,
We had the pleasure and blessing of knowing Herman through his work with Stanley. He was such a kind person and always brightened our day. There was always a smile on his face. Our dog Roxie loved him too! God Bless all of you during this time and we pray you find peace and comfort.
Sincere condolences,
Melissa, Aaron, Emma Marie and Roxie Rowland

Rest well my brother

From the Hutcherson family to the McCaskill family, we are deeply saddened by your loss. We are praying that God will surround you with His peace that surpasses all understanding and give you strength, comfort, and hope during this difficult time.
“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.”
— 2 Timothy 4:7–8 (NIV)
May the promises of God’s Word bring comfort to your hearts, and may His love sustain you in the days ahead. You remain in our thoughts and prayers.
I pray for healing and comfort for the McCaskills during your loss. Herman was a Mathematics student of mine during his fresman year at SCSU. I know that the loss of him here on earth is heaven’s gain. May the Lord bless this entire family.
Tater, I miss you already brother but It’s joy in knowing that you’re already singing in heaven. I prayed that God relieved your pain but I didn’t know that it would bring me so much pain. We now pray healing for your family and friends and ask you to hold heaven down until we get there. See you then brother.
