Michael P. "Mike" Casey

He was born on April 16, 1950 in Lenox, MA, and had lived there for 26 years. Mike graduated from Lenox Memorial High School in MA, as well as Berkshire Christian College. He received his Master’s degree in Education from Columbia Bible College.

Educating since 1974, Mike became the Headmaster of First Baptist Christian School in the spring of 1980, where he faithfully served through 2009 when he retired due to health issues. Mike also served as Minister of Education at the First Baptist Church of Stuart for many years. He has been touching and shaping lives for Christ, mentoring many students and everyone else who came in contact with him.

Mike was a huge sport’s enthusiast, and loved the Boston Red Sox. He was a tremendous athlete, loved racquetball and basketball, and as a young man, won numerous accolades. One of Mike’s favorite pastimes was fishing, especially for Snook with his closest friends. If Mike wasn’t working or enjoying a different hobby, you could find him reading. He had a great amount of knowledge which allowed him to communicate with all types of people. Mike was easily loved by all for his humility and servant’s heart. He had a humbleness that put people at ease and he will be truly missed by many.
