Mr. Kyle Liam Casey, 56, died September 22, 2018 in Pearland, Texas of a brain aneurysm.  He was born in New York City to Kathleen Casey (nee Heirich) and John Casey.  He was raised in Manhassett, NY on Long Island.  He attended The Lawrenceville School.  At 18, he joined the United States Navy and was a member of SEAL Team 5.  After military service, he graduated from the University of California at Berkley (Cal) with a BA in Economics and a JD.  He earned academic scholarships and Am Jur Awards for highest marks.  He is a member of the California Bar Association.

His service to the nation and his fine intellectual abilities are overshadowed only by his personal qualities and character.  He was unfailingly kind, possessed an innate and empathic understanding of all people, had a generous heart, was always willing to help others.  He had an Irish sense of humor.  He was intensely private and humble, never broadcasting his achievements or his remarkable physical courage and strength.  He abhorred injustice.  His interests, in addition to Law, were economics, politics, history, music (he played guitar), motorcycle racing, martial arts and football.

He was a superb athlete and swam daily, lifted weights, ran and bicycled.  From the age of 9 he was a daring and excellent snow skier.  In recent years, he was devoted to attending his nephews’ lacrosse, rugby and football games at Strake Jesuit College Preparatory.

In addition to his parents, he leaves an older brother, Dr. Sean C. Casey and a younger sister, Siobhan Caitlin (Walter) Irby, nephews Jackson, Matthew and Douglas Irby, cousins, an aunt, and many friends.

Visitation will be on Friday, October 5, 2018 from 9:45 – 10:15 followed by Mass at 10:15AM at St. Helen’s Catholic Church 2209 Old Alvin Rd., Pearland, TX  77581.   Burial ceremony will be at Houston Memorial Cemetery.
