Kasey worked a few jobs over his lifetime, but truck driving was his favorite. He was a proud father, raising his son Payson on his own. They enjoyed football, Payson playing for the Dragons and Kasey cheering him on. Kasey also enjoyed fishing, hunting and anything outdoors. He enjoyed the little things in life, eating and taking care of his animals; however, his greatest achievement was raising and spending time with his son, Payson.
