Phillip Michael Casey

Phillip Michael Casey, 39, of Denver, CO was freed from this lifetime on April 7, 2020 in Greeley, CO in search of the answers he sought most his life. Phillip, known to family and friends as "Flipper”, was born in Denver, CO on October 23, 1980. Flipper, or just "Flip”, was an emotional and restless soul who questioned the universe, humanity, authority, and the meaning of life. He spent his life searching for his place in a world that didn’t always understand or appreciate the profundity of his questions, the depth of his soul, or enormity of his heart. Flip often best expressed his thoughts and feelings through artistic expression, his passion for music, and one special time, through a poem he penned with his younger brother Colin. "Earthly Love” I love this world And everything in it. I love the flowers And the sea And the summer breeze. I love the birds And the dirt And the trees. I love the dogs and the cats And the honey bees. I hope everyone around me sees The beauty that occurs to me. Situations bring to light Hope, That someday it could all Be alright. Everything has value to me All the pain And the plight. Love is my guide. This journey is one we must take alone But we must share this home. Let’s make peace not war This is my dream. I could ask for nothing more. Phillip is survived by his mother Kandace (Vogt) Kimble and stepfather Harold as well as his father Joseph Casey and stepmother Kay. He also leaves behind his brothers Brett, Jeremy, Colin, stepbrother Mason, and a large, loving, extended family.
