Casey was known to be a hard worker. He worked for CSX Railroad for twenty-two years. In his free time he enjoyed hunting for deer, fly fishing, spending his Saturdays cheering on the Auburn Tigers football team, but his most favorite thing to do was be involved in his daughters softball activities. He was her biggest fan on and off the field.
He was known to be a gentle giant and always there to lend a hand when needed.
He will truly be missed by all who knew and loved him. As we share memories and stories about him we find comfort that someday we will see him again.
