Casey was the same age as me and it is hard to fathom he isn’t here. The memories I have of Casey is because of the stories I heard from his mom.  My heart and prayers goes out to the family.

What a joy to watch my nephew grow up!  From Casey's active mind, to all of the cute Scout uniforms paving the way to a respected Eagle Scout, he was very special to me.   And what amazing daughters he and Jennifer have!  Just sad we weren't better about keeping in touch through the years.  All who love him are in our hearts and prayers.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I remember Casey as a bright and wonderfully intelligent classmate who brought such energy to the classroom. He will be missed.

Occasionally a group of high school friends develop a close bond that lasts a lifetime. That was the case with our son Christian and his buddies Casey, Andrew and Greg. We had the pleasure of watching them grow up as best friends at the Episcopal School of Dallas. They were all exceptional students, but Casey stood out as getting the most academic scholarships of anyone in the school, possibly ever. Among his many awards we were there when became an Eagle Scout. The four of them were full of pranks, none harmful to others and all fun or funny. Casey spent a few evenings with us a few years ago…the same Casey…always funny, always brilliant, always high spirited. We loved Casey and are blessed to have known him. Our hearts are broken at his passing.

I was deeply saddened to hear about Casey's passing, and as I reflect on our time together, I can’t help but smile at some of the mischievous adventures we shared. Casey had a way of turning ordinary moments into extraordinary memories.

One of my favorite recollections is from our high school days when Casey led the charge to scale a cell tower in Plano. It was nighttime, of course, and we had to climb a fence to get there. This was back when cell towers were a rare sight, and from the top, we had an unparalleled view of the greater Plano area. It was a daring climb, but Casey's enthusiasm and fearless spirit made it an unforgettable experience.

Another cherished memory is of us sitting on a bench overlooking the quarry pond behind our high school, the Episcopal School of Dallas. We spotted an old wooden boat on the far side of the quarry, protected by thick brush on either side. Swimming or using quarry water was strictly forbidden, but Casey’s adventurous nature took over once again. Under the cover of night, we scaled the fence (always the fences with Casey) to ESD and launched that leaky old boat, gazing up at the stars as we floated on the pond. In his senior yearbook, you’ll see references to this escapade through the letters QC – or Quarry Club.

I also remember sitting in AP English with Casey. While I felt a bit out of place, Casey clearly belonged. We had all written stories and were taking turns reading them aloud. When Casey read his story, "Fade to Black," the entire class, including our teacher, Mr. Randle, listened in rapt attention. It was evident that Casey had an extraordinary gift; he thought on a different level. Mr. Randle was left stunned but recovered enough to ask if I wanted to read my story next. After hearing Casey's impressive performance, I remember thinking, "Uh, no thanks."

Casey had an incredible ability to make every moment feel like an adventure, and those memories will always bring a smile to my face. Rest in peace, my friend.
