He grew up in Flensburg, MN, and attended school in Little Falls graduating from Little Falls Community High School with the Class of 2007. After graduation, Casey furthered his education and earned his degree in Ecology and Field Biology with emphasis in Wildlife Management at Saint Cloud State University. On September 27, 2019, he was united in marriage to the love of his life Megan Reed. They were blessed with two beautiful children, Abrielle and Braxton who were the light of his world. Casey was currently employed at Benton County as a Soil and Water District Technician. He loved his work at Benton County, as he had a passion for environmental conservation and enjoyed planting grasses and other vegetation. Casey was extremely organized and very particular about his work and his home. After getting home from work and on weekends he was always working on projects and doing jobs around their yard. Casey was always willing to lend a hand to family or friends and was very loving, caring, and strong. In his free time, he enjoyed playing sports, specifically golf and softball. He especially loved spending time with his family. He was their Rock. Casey will forever be remembered for his quick-witted remarks and being an amazing husband, dad, son, brother, and friend. Casey had a smile that would light up the room, his smirk, quirky sense of humor and of course his signature “pose” always brought laughter to those around him. Casey was dearly loved and will be greatly missed.
