Kerry Caswell Obituary
Kingsville, TX - Kerry L. Caswell, born on August 8, 1954, passed away on December 22, 2025, at the age of 71.
Words can not fully express our sadness in sharing the passing of Kerry. Kerry was a proud graduate from Concord High School in 1972. In 1977, Kerry went on to graduate from Texas Tech University, where he participated in the ROTC program. Following graduation, he served honorably in the United States Air Force for 14 years, first being trained as a helicopter pilot and later qualifying as a fixed-wing bomber pilot. Kerry was a veteran of the Gulf War I, serving his country with distinction, professionalism, and courage.
After his military service, Kerry continued his dedication to aviation and training. He worked for Fidelity Technologies in Kingsville, Texas, for over 20 years as a flight simulator instructor, where he trained U.S. Navy pilots. His expertise, patience, and commitment earned him the respect of colleagues and students alike.
Kerry is survived by his loving wife, Sherry L. Caswell. He was the devoted father of four children, Morgan Forbes (Scott), Corey (Kristi), Brett, and Ryan, whom he shared with his first wife, Diane Westgate (nee Corliss). He is also survived by his brothers, James, David (Paula), and Robert (Lex) Caswell, along with his sister, Sandra.
Kerry will be remembered for his service to his country, his passion for aviation, and his dedication to his family. His legacy lives on through the many pilots he trained, the missions he flew, and the lives he touched.

Very saddened by Kerry´s passing. Kerry was part of Magnificent8 @ FtRucker. He and I along with JP Cain went to FightingF Model School at Kirtland then he went to Ellsworth AFB IN SD. More than once we said hello over the radio as we passed each other from South Dakota, Wyoming, and Montana.
Fair Winds my Friend......

Add me to the list of many from our Broadway neighborhood and Rundlett and Concord High School with fond memories of Kerry and the entire Caswell family.
Those were some great times, often led by Kerry´s ability to whack a Whiffle ball off the back of the house.
So sorry for loss David, Bob and Sandy.
You´re correct: What a force Kerry was.

Kerry Caswell and I were very good friends at Concord High School in Concord, New Hampshire. Kerry was such a good man, always pleasant, kind-hearted, wearing a warm smile and eager to talk about football particularly concerning the Dallas Cowboys and the Texas Tech Red Raiders.
We spent hours talking football every week going over the previous week's games. It was such fun I'll never forget the great discussions we had together.
In fact one of our English teachers at Concord High School was very aggrivated that we kept talking during class one day. I'll never forget it, a Cowboys and Redskins fan never got along so well together.
After graduating high school in 1972 I went to Berea College from which I graduated from that's in Kentucky and he went to Texas. We lost touch with each other, unfortunately, I really would have enjoyed speaking with him again after all these years.
Kerry Caswell had an amazing career serving us all in the United States Air Force and in training pilots. He had a wonderful family too, my most sincere and heartfelt condolences to them.
Kerry Caswell will always be remembered by me as one of the finest people and friends I've ever been priviledged to know. Rest in peace my friend.
Sincerely Yours,
John Stuart Hancock

Kerry was born 2 years after me. He was such a force in our lives. He was a great reader and an excellent writer. He played clarinet and had a very good singing voice too. He was a historian too. He knew so much about the Civil War and all wars for that matter. He wrote poetry as a youngster. He wrote short stories all through high school although I don't know how many were read by his friends. He had many good friends. He flew helicopters and did search and rescue for the Coast Guard as an US Air Force officer before becoming a B52 pilot and flying missions during the Iraq war. After his service he became an accomplished para-legal and then finished his working career training the Navel pilots on simulators to prepare landing on carriers. He was a force.

I have not seen Kerry since high school. He was always friendly and cheerful and considerate to his classmates. I am not surprised by his many accomplishments as it fits his personality as I remember it from more than 50 years ago. Truly a good person. Rest in Peace Kerry.

My brother Kerry and I were born only thirteen months apart consequently we shared everything growing up. We shared freinds jobs and between his military and pilot training jobs he worked for me and I for him. I would be remiss if I didn't mention his great writting ability. As far back as the fourth grade he would write stories about his classmates and I that we used to gaither and listen to during recess I know if he had more time before his struggles with clarity he would have retired to write something it would have been special. He will be greatly missed.
