Cashton is lovingly survived by his parents, Avia Ramos, and Carl “Ethan” Pressley of New Ulm; his sister, Nora Alonzo; his maternal grandparents, Rebecca and Anthony Schablin of Fairfax, his step-grandmother, Reyna Jaquez of Gaylord; his paternal grandparents, Ashley Pressley and William Wells both of Sleepy Eye; his uncles, Roman Garcia of Arlington, Marco Ramos of Fairfax, Aiden Hartson of Fairfax, Maddox Schablin of Fairfax; and countless friends and supporters from across the state and world.

He was preceded in death by his great grandfather, Carlton Pate Sr.; his great-uncles, John Moldestad, Jamie Pressley; and his second cousin, Cody Hartson.

Cashton Evan Pressley, age 17 months, passed away on Sunday, September 14, 2025, at the New Ulm Medical Center in New Ulm. Cashton was born into this world a fighter on April 4, 2024, to Carl “Ethan” Pressley and Avia Ramos. From his very first breath, he faced countless genetic disorders, spending much of his early life in medical centers across the metro, but never without his family close by his side. Doctors once doubted he would ever smile, speak, or move, yet Cashton defied every expectation. His fighting spirit shone through in every moment, proving again and again that love and determination are stronger than any diagnosis.

Though his life was short, Cashton taught more than most do in a lifetime. He reminded everyone around him of humility, strength, and the importance of embracing true emotion. He had a gift for bringing people together, creating bonds of love and support that stretched far beyond his own family. Every second with him was a blessing, a reminder of how beautiful life can be. Cashton loved to laugh and delighted in making others laugh too. He always recognized when his family was near, especially his dad, mom, and sister, with whom he shared an unbreakable bond.

His impact reached beyond hospital walls and family circles. “Cashton’s Army,” born from the humble beginnings of a truck club in New Ulm, grew into a powerful movement of love and solidarity felt across the state and even the world. Cashton became a cherished son of the ROC truck club, embraced as one of their own. He loved the roar of a truck burnout, the magic of fireworks, and the joy of music; all things that filled his days with excitement and wonder.

Cashton’s life, though brief, was nothing short of extraordinary. He united hearts, strengthened families, and inspired a community to love more deeply and to stand stronger together. His light will continue to shine through every life he touched, and his memory will forever be carried by those who knew him, loved him, and were changed by him.
