Florida State Rep. Joe Casello Dies Suddenly at 73 After Heart Attack

BREAKING: Florida State Representative Joe Casello has tragically passed away at the age of 73 following a heart attack, as confirmed by the Florida House Democrats earlier today. The announcement, made on X, revealed that Casello was surrounded by his family and girlfriend during his final moments.

Casello, a former firefighter from Worcester, Massachusetts, dedicated three decades to public service before transitioning into politics in Florida. He was a beloved figure, having served as a city commissioner in Boynton Beach and elected to the state legislature in 2018. His commitment to public service was evident as he announced plans to run for a seat on the Palm Beach County Commission in 2026.

In a heartfelt tribute, Representative Christine Hunschofsky shared, “Joe was a wonderful person, always positive and supportive… He served in the legislature with humility, grace, and a fierce sense of purpose.” She noted his distinctive style, referring to him as “GQ Joe,” and expressed her deep sorrow at losing both a colleague and a friend.

The family has expressed their gratitude for the outpouring of support during this difficult time. A private ceremony is planned in Massachusetts, with details for a public memorial service to be announced soon.

As a consequence of Casello’s passing, Florida law mandates that Governor Ron DeSantis must call a special election to fill the vacancy in the legislature. This situation marks a significant moment for the community as they mourn a dedicated public servant who made a lasting impact.

Stay tuned for updates on the memorial service and the upcoming special election as developments unfold.
