Obituary: Burt, Casey Allen
Age 17
Commercial fishing and sports were his passion.
Growing up in Richland he played many sports, but baseball was his favorite then.
In 2012 he moved to Nine Mile Falls where he continued his love of sports, cross country, soccer and this fall was going to play football for the first time.
He had many hobbies, x-box, hockey, skate boarding and skiing at Silver Mountain.
He was a devoted Young Life member where he enjoyed the friendship and lessons on life.
His other passion was commercial fishing where he grew to excel.
He was so young when he started that he couldn’t lift the anchors and it was always his goal each year to accomplish this, which he did.
He loved driving the 4-wheels on the beach and the freedom to be yourself.
As sports and fishing where important to him, friends and family were more so.
He was always loving and caring to everyone and never knew a stranger.
His smile would brighten up a room.
You’ve left a void in our lives that no one can fill.
You’re big smile is gone but not forgotten.
There are no good-byes only, “See You Soon, Son”.
