Michael J. Casey

Michael J. Casey, a vibrant soul whose zest for life was as boundless as the ocean he loved, passed away on September 6, 2024, while scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. He was the beloved Husband of Deborah (Morris) Casey, Brother of Daniel James Casey, Uncle to Kevin Casey and Julia Casey, Brother-in-Law to Paul Albert Morris and cousin to many. Mike lived his life with unparalleled passion and generosity.

Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Mike's spirit was always drawn to warmer climates and the adventures they offered. He found his paradise in Mount Pleasant, where he embraced every opportunity to explore the natural world. An avid skier, scuba diver, and golfer, Mike was happiest when surrounded by the beauty of nature and the company of loved ones. His infectious enthusiasm and boundless energy made him the life of any gathering.

Mike's heart was as big as his personality. He dedicated countless hours to volunteering at MUSC Children's Hospital, bringing joy and laughter to young patients facing difficult challenges. His empathy and compassion also extended to those battling substance abuse, offering a helping hand and a listening ear to those in need.

Mike's sudden passing leaves a void that can never be filled. He will be deeply missed by his devoted wife, Debbie, and the countless friends whose lives he touched. His legacy of kindness, generosity, and unwavering optimism will continue to inspire all who knew him.

As we mourn the loss of this extraordinary man, let us celebrate the remarkable life he lived. Mike taught us to embrace every moment, to cherish our loved ones, and to find joy in the simple pleasures of life. His spirit will forever live on in the laughter he shared, the kindness he showed, and the love he gave freely.

A celebration of Mike's life will be held Wednesday, October 23, 2024 in Seacoast Church, 750 Long Point Rd., Mt. Pleasant, SC 29464 at 11:00 am. A reception will follow the service at Dunes West Golf and River Club. Arrangements by J. Henry Stuhr, Inc., Mt. Pleasant Chapel.
