Casey, born January 2, 1946 in Columbia, SC, graduated from Surrattsville High School in Maryland in 1965. He joined the Navy Reserves at age 17 and trained with the Advanced Corp Combat unit at Camp Pendleton before serving two tours of duty in Vietnam (1967 to 1969) as a Photographer’s Mate in the US Navy.

In 1970, he started his long career with the U.S. Secret Service, and received his degree in criminal justice from American University, Washington D.C. in 1978. Upon receiving his degree, Casey became a Special Agent and was assigned to the Washington Field Office serving in investigations, intelligence and protective capacities. In 1987 he was transferred to the Western Protective Division and then assigned in 1988 to the Reagan Protective Division until 1992. He retired in 2002 as a Senior Special Agent from the Los Angeles Field Office.

Retirement allowed Casey to pursue his hobbies: deep-sea fishing on his boat, The Island Hopper, riding his Harley Davidson, racing model planes, boats and cars, playing billiards, patronizing his favorite restaurants and helping his neighbors around their homes.

Arrangements at Pierce Brothers, Westlake Village, CA. Due to the current national pandemic, there will be no funeral services at this time. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date yet to be determined.
