After returning home, he married Anne Horne in Roundaway on July 2, 1971. Casey spent his days in the fields as a farmer for 44 years before retiring; one of his favorite things to do at work was move dirt. He was a member of the Benoit Union Church where he sang in the choir for many years before joining Southside Baptist Church. Casey enjoyed watching his children and grandchildren play sports, cheering on MSU Bulldogs, taking naps in his recliner, and being outside. From mowing the grass to picking up sticks, Casey loved any time spent outdoors.
