Kasey’s life revolved around his family and loved ones. Family always came first. He enjoyed the outdoors; hunting, fishing, camping and spending time on the family ranch in the Silvies Valley and family reunions at Buck Creek in Lake County. As a child he participated in youth sports, rodeo, 4H swine and the math Olympics. He was a very hard worker who learned many skills while being raised as a farm boy. That hard working ethic carried through to his school studies. He was a huge fan of movies, especially the Lord of the Rings Trilogy; reading the books and watching the films. Kasey had a thirst for knowledge and loved to learn. He was very passionate about certain subjects and always enjoyed a good debate. Kasey accomplished a tremendous amount in his short life and his family could not be any prouder of the man he had become. Kasey was extremely thoughtful with his parents and loved ones, always finding the perfect words to show his love and gratitude for family and friends. A favorite quote that he turned into a tattoo “All we have to decide, is what to do with the time given to us”. Kasey will be forever loved and missed by all who knew him.
