Keith Cashman, age 52, of Swansea, passed away on Saturday, October 4, 2025, at Charlton Memorial Hospital in Fall River. He was the husband of Erika L. (Karam) Cashman to whom he had been married for the past 30 years.

Born in Fall River, he was the son of the late Roy and Rosalina (Silvia) Cashman. He lived in Fall River for many years prior to moving to Swansea.

A third generation Firefighter, Keith was first appointed to the Fall River Fire Department in 2010.
