Just found out belatedly of the passing of my friend, Casey. I am absolutely crushed and now left to wonder exactly what happened. Dammit, dude, we'd been talking about catching up, grabbing some beers, and working some new BJJ techniques for months, but it's not to be. My deepest condolences to your family, friends, and countless students who were lucky enough to have you be a part of their lives. Rest easy, buddy, you were one of the good ones and I'll truly miss you.

Casey was my daughter's karate teacher years ago at Stevens Karate studio. He was always so nice and greeted everyone with a beautiful smile. He had a amazing way with children and they all loved him. My daughter and i were just talking about Casey as she has been thinking about taking up karate again. When I saw the news about Casey passing it made us so very sad. We are so incredible sorry for your lose and please know you all are in my our prayers.

Casey will be missed by so many who may never be able to tell you the things he did for them, because he never told them of those things. We only know of the many times he was watching out for our daughter, because she realized it and told us. He was one of our son Danny’s friends, but he always stood out...As a child, he always made us laugh. As an adult, he always made our hearts smile. We would see Casey at Danny’s shows, and he always took the time to speak to us, at length, when he could have been enjoying his friends...his passion for his life’s work was contagious, and at such an early age, he affected so many, that I can’t help but think he did all of what God put him here to do. Casey will be missed by so many, but the benefit of his work will be here much longer than many of us will.

Casey,
You always strive to do your best and be the best at whatever you decided to do. I remember you always having a warm smile and a kind word and gesture for others.
I will always remeber you my friend in the following ways.
You would always show leadership by the desire and unselfless want to motivate others.
You always would do things by your own terms which were always the morally correct ones.
You never asked if other what you yourself could not do.
You were a pleasure to be with always, and a true friend. I will miss you dearly. A new Star will be shining bright tonight watching over us all and I will look up and know you are there. Rest well my friend.
Sincerely,
Don

Casey, this is crazy! You were far too young and alive to have passed away.
I didn't know you very long, but from the moment I met you, I was impressed not just with your awesome jiu jitsu (which WAS absolutely, totally awesome), but your laid-back manner, your sneaky sense of humor, and just how down-to-earth you were. I kept meaning to come back and train with you, and now I greatly regret the missed opportunity.
Dude, thank you so much for the great instruction and all the laughs, too. I wish I had known you longer. You'll be missed by more people than you would have thought possible.

My children are heart broken. Mr. Casey has been teaching them karate for the past 4 years. He was a wonderful teacher and an amazing person. They looked up to him and were always happy to see him. He always had a positive demeanor and was very kind to everyone. We are beyond stunned by this tragic loss and our hearts and prayers go out to his family, friends and his love Jennifer.

Dear Mr. Casey
Thank you for teaching me the past 4 years how to make me be strong and defend myself. You always made me feel special and strong, especially when you gave me my nickname, “Big T”. I always laughed and felt special inside when you called me that. You also knew my favorite super hero at the time was Batman and we both dressed up as Batman together at your Halloween party. I can’t believe my Mr. Casey is gone from this earth and i will pray for you everyday. I will never forget you.
Kiyah!
Your student,
Tommy Esposito aka Big T

Dear Mr. Casey,
Thank you so much for all that you have taught me over the five years I studied with you. You taught me that I had to earn everything that I obtained from my favorite pair of nunchucks to finally my black belt. I will never forget everything you have done for me since I was five years old, like surprising me at my 6th birthday party! You have taught me many lessons that I have not forgotten and will NEVER forget—One of them was, “You never start the fight, but you always finish it”. Thank you for being a special soul who touched my life and my family’s. You will never be forgotten.
Your Student,
Michael Esposito Jr.

Mr. Casey,
I can't believe your gone. You helped me so much throughout my life. Now I get the honor of telling people I am a black belt as you were the one that helped me get there throughout the years. I am deeply saddened that you are gone, but you made such a great impact of the lives of so many people including my family and me. RIP :-(

Casey, we have so many fond memories of you. Cassia loved you the minute you came to the karate class and she loved you till the day she got her junior black belt. I remember cooking salmon and bringing it to you so that you would have dinner before you entered into a long night of teaching and training. We will miss your smile, your laugh and your friendship. Rest in Peace
