With heavy and broken hearts, we share the passing of Casey Faires on February 11, 2026.

Born on January 6, 1985, Casey was a proud Navy veteran who served his country with honor and dedication. He carried that same sense of loyalty and strength into his role as a husband and father. Casey was a devoted husband to Maria and a loving father to Santi, Leo, and Judea. His family was his entire world, and his love for them was constant and unwavering.

Over the past 24 months, Casey faced personal battles that many may not have fully seen. Like so many veterans and strong, loving men, he carried more than he let on. Despite his struggles, he continued to love deeply and give everything he could to those around him.

Casey will be remembered for his kind heart, his quiet strength, and the way he could bring comfort and laughter to those he loved. He was more than the challenges he faced — he was a man who served his country, loved his family fiercely, and left a lasting mark on everyone who knew him.

He leaves behind his beloved wife, Maria, and their three beautiful children, who are now facing life without their husband and father. The emotional weight of this loss is immeasurable. Alongside their grief, they are also navigating the unexpected financial burdens that follow such a sudden loss.

We are asking for support to help ease some of the weight Maria is carrying during this unimaginable time. All donations will go directly toward:

• Funeral and memorial expenses

• Mortgage and household bills

• Childcare and daily living expenses

• Supporting the children’s future needs

Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference for this family. If you are unable to give, please consider sharing this page and keeping Maria, Santi, Leo, and Judea in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you for surrounding this family with love, compassion, and support. Casey’s legacy of love, service, and devotion to his family will live on through his children and in the hearts of all who knew him.
