Hello,
We realize that we are very late to express our deepest condolences, but we wanted to let your family and friends know that we will be sending Care Packages to deployed troops this week and several of these will be dedicated to your loved one. Each package will carry the name, photo and hometown of Casey Willis Nash US Army Sergeant.
We realize that this is a small tribute, but we do this with all respect and sincerity and we want you to know that it is made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals from across the American youth hockey community, their families and friends and others who support our mission.
We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you safe and strong.
Sincerely,
Charlie Gili & Family

It's still hard to believe you're gone sometimes. I just wanna pick up the phone and call to see how you're doing. I wonder if you'd be married, if Id be asking how the kids are....Today sucks, and I wish I had a way to change it. I got married in February, crazy huh? He's an Army man and I know you'd like him. He would adore you. Everyone did. I can't bring myself to understand how SSDD turned into goodbye...I still hate that saying by the way "goodbye" it sounds so permanent...."see ya later then"- crazy how I still remember that.... I miss you, a lot. Especially the 18th of May and on your birthday...I finally got the tattoo on my wrist for you about a year and a half ago. My husband had a hard time with it for a while but, well ya know me. "get over it. It's not going anywhere." He eventually got past it and he even likes it now :-P I look at it sometimes and it makes me sad, other times I smile.... 7 years and I am still having a rough go at this. I feel like I am rambling..stalling... I just wanted you to know, I miss you and I think of you all the time. Im going to make it up to MD, I promise Im going to come see you. I wonder if your momma kept that ole truck of yours- the S10...haha man....theres this song "I drive your truck" and it gets me.... I love you kid.
always,

Hey hon..Gosh Casey I can't believe it's almost been five years. I just want to tell you that there still isn't a day that goes by I don't think bout you and your laugh, your kindness, your heart and your friendship. I still have emails from you from back in the day. I know that you see everything, and I know that Heaven has an Angel of a man in the grace and arms of God. I feel selfish when I wish you were here because I know you are feeling no pain and only happiness up there. This past year has been insane but already know that... Crab Cakes and football couldn't cure this hurt but I'm sure it'd help.... I miss our jokes and the way you always knew what to say to make me smile. You are a rare person and I doubt I will ever have the honor of having someone so incredible touch my life the way you did. Thank you for being a friend when I needed one. I miss you so much kid!!! with love, Gretel

to the family of Casey,
I am writing to offer my condolences to you. I had the honor of serving with your son on his first deployment with the COLT Platoon. I became real good friends with your son not only during the deployment but during the months before as well as the years after. I want to thank you for raising such a great and honorable man. The world is truly at a loss with Casey gone. I know it has been 4 years but it is seems like only yesterday that i was spending time with your son and the rest of our FISTER friends. I just want you to know that i pray for you every day and know that Casey watches over all of us and is standing by at Heaven's gate.
Take care and GOD BLESS

I can't express how much you helped me or how much I truly need you now. I guess Heaven needed you more...

Casey, it doesnt get easier. I heard this today and thought of you....your family your friends. Everything. I miss you so much. I wanted to tell you that if I ever have a son Im naming him Casey, after you. You don't know what an impact you were on me. Thank you, so much for being there. I'd give anything, anything in the world for one more call. Even if it's noisy in the background...haha....I love you Casey. "sweet!"

Couldnt sleep last night. Today is a sad day, today I lost my friend and I didnt even know it. Today the world is a sadder and less amazing place. Today isnt the same because youre gone. Casey I wish I could turn the clock back, I wish I could change everything I wonder who you would be today, what you'd be like. I remember you telling me you wanted to go work with your dad after you got out... You were such an amazing man. I wish I could hear your voice one more time...Remember how I said I hated goodbye? It sounded so permanent...I still do...so, Ill see you again someday until then, I hope you know you will always have a place in my heart, and I will never find a friend as loyal and wonderful as you.
Thank you Casey for showing me the meaning of friendship and unconditional love.
I miss you....Always in my heart,

I saw this and it reminded me of you, I think about you all the time. I know you know that and maybe it's a little silly that I come on here but I feel like you can read it....anyways, always sent you silly little things and this one seemed not so silly...
I wish Heaven had a phone so I'd hear your voice again. I thought of you today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have are memories & pictures in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake, from which I'll never part....God has you in his arms, I have you in my heart ...
Love and Miss you,

Well bro, never seems to go long without you popping into my mind. I finally got the Tattoo for you, J.V, and SSG Thomas. I alway knew I would just took a while to decide what to get. I don't know man I still wish we could have all stayed together, the Colts, the way we were the first time around. Playing Halo in our down time and busting heads when we had to. As time goes on I find it harder to put the loss behind me, its strange, you know. I have lost people I have know all my life, and I don't even bat an eye when they pass, but the loss of one of my brothers hurts deep. I just want you to know that you may not be here for us to see, but you live on inside each of us, battle. Every soldier I put into boots now, yeah I know I am a recruiter, well they all know about you and Thompson the sacrifices ya'll made, and the rest of the Colts, and what it takes to be a soldier, as well as what it may cost one day. I make sure they understand, and are proud of their heritage, proud because of men like you. I know I am, I miss ya bro.

I still cant believe that Casey's really gone. I had the pleasure of knowing him while he was on his first tour in Iraq.He was always such a sweet guy and I will NEVER forget him. I never met his family but i offer my deepest sympathy as the anniversary of Casey's death has just passed. I cannot imagine the pain that you are feeling, please knowthat you raised an amazing man he was a great friend and always knew the words to say to make everyone around him feel better. He was strong in every aspect of his character, He had a way about him that not many people do. He was an AMAZING person and it saddens me very much that he's gone. My heart and prayers are still with you Casey! I miss you!
Thank you for EVERYTHING that you did. You are loved, and forever remembered.

The Wind on The Downs
“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”
(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )
Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….
“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”
I did not know Casey, but I am remembering
his service. He is my hero. !

The Other Side
i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.
can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.
i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.
it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side
the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

My condolences to my cousin Lou and Sandy and family. Although I did not know Sgt. Casey Nash as well as I would have liked to, I am deeply saddened for the loss of such a great Hero. And so I submit these words to you for comfort:
Great Men
When I mention your name, the person hearing this immediately sheds a tear in their eye and yet smiles also. Only a great man can do these things.
Just to see the appearance of his face- can blossom your day from bad to good. Your smile reflects from your heart the love that you feel when you have these long meaningful thoughts. A silence breaks into your head and all of your focus is turned to him. Only a great man can do these things.
At last, your day turns to the moment at hand where you left off; you feel much better now, a little somber, then that smile fills your heart and mind and then your face too. I stop to thank them every day for this. We will always love you. Only a Great Man can do these things.
It's been my Honor.
Sincerely,
David J. Pollock

Just finding out what happen to Casey tonight I called Lew,I really didnt know what to say. I told him how sorry I was and we only spoke for a few min. I got off the phone and cryed like a baby. I cant even think how the Nash family is copeing. I thought back at the times when Lew and I coached our sons at middleriver baseball.Casey was one of the better players in the league. Yeah, he like to clown around with his friends on both teams that were playing that day. But I know he also would have there backs.Casey was A winner and would help his team anyway he could to be on top. Will miss you Casey and Im proud to have known you.

Mr. and Mrs. Nash,
It's been a long time since I had Casey in Honors Trig at Eastern Tech.
I just recently heard about your loss. I can only remember what a great kid Casey was and how much I loved having him in class.
He was fun and usually had a smile. I enjoyed teaching him. I'm so sorry for your loss and I offer you my prayers.
Casey was a great kid.

To the family of a man who touched me when I was just a freshman in high school. He was the type of guy who you could always get along with and whenever you needed someone to talk to he was there for you. I came and visited him a few times at your home and once on his first "leave" from Iraq. We sat in the front yard while he worked on his remote control car. I will never forget the way your son looked at me when I was leaving. He had that "brotherly" look in his eyes as we hugged and said good-bye. That was the last time I saw him, and even to this day I think of him as a brother. He helped me though thick and thin. I know you heard this a thousand times but I am very sorry about your loss. I know he will be deeply missed. If you ever need anything please feel free to e-mail me. We have only meet a few times but I would be glad to help anyway that I can. With all the love I can bestow, I will be thinking about your family for a long time and will be praying for you.

“Soldier”
Written to Honor the Service of Our Fallen Soldiers
Soldiers write history…they pay the price
Many miles distant, you live the life
Entered the Battle of our own free will
Out of Duty for Country, and we’d do it still
We hope and pray that all will find peace
In God, in the flag, in memories of valor
Gone now, our pride and courage you see
“An Army of One” our motto forever
Willing to risk all for love of our Brothers
We’re still Your Soldiers…and we showed the way
Our Lives too short, now pray for the others
Lived free died Heroes in lands far away
Deep within souls all cherished our Service
We’ll always have what some never know
Courage and Honor, our names forever
Lived life with purpose…just our time to go
We march in the Heavens with Honor and Glory
Missions accomplished we fought the Good Fight
Many years from now…we’ll tell the full story
Until that Day we will live in the Light
Our lives we laid down in a land far away
Still watching o’er you this night and by day
No need to talk…just know we are with you
There in your hearts and we hear what you pray
Yes we are your soldiers
Our lives we laid down
Still We guard o’er you
Still Duty bound
Entered the Battle of our own free will
Out of Duty for Country, and we’d do it still
We’ll always have what some never know
Lived life with purpose…it was our time to go

Sandy,
I don't know if you will ever see this but so many things I can't say to you right now about Casey. Maybe one day you will see this. I guess this is more for me than you. I can't say thanks enough for all the support you have been to me and Debbi while Devin has been over at Camp Warhorse with Casey. All the talks we had. It was you always saying "don't worry, no news is good news." It was you always telling me not to worry about the "knock at the door." But it was you that had it happen. It was you finding it so important to make the call to me right after you found out. It's so odd that two guys that didn't really know each other wound up together...our sons. All of my fears came to life through you. In true fashion for you, you asked if Devin was ok at the graveside. The hardest thing Debbi and I have done is putting Devin back on a plane to Warhorse the day after Casey's funeral. Again, you wanted to know if we were doing ok. You are amazing! I am so sorry that Casey is gone. I just wanted to say what a great son Casey was. What a wondeful Mom you have been to your children. I know I am making zero sense in what I am writing. I guess if anyone will understand what I am saying it will be you. You always do. Thanks for always being there. We love you!

Dear Sandra, Lewis and the entire Nash family,
I am deeply saddened by the death of your loved one Casey. I offer my most sincere condolences.
I hope you will find some comfort in knowing that countless Americans grieve with you and they greatly appreciate the ultimate sacrifice made by Casey in the name of freedom. He died as a true American hero.
It was my honor to be present during Casey’s burial service to honor him and pay my respects to your family. It was also my extreme honor to present your family with the Gold Star Service Banner which in our country, has long been the symbol of a fallen hero dating back to World War I.
I hope you will display your banner proudly in your front window in honor of your fallen hero and to remind all passers by that your loved one Casey W. Nash will never be forgotten.
I hope also that one day in the not to distant future, on every occasion when you think of Casey, that PRIDE... will be your strongest emotion.
I pledge to never forget his sacrifice... and yours. Rest in peace soldier. Job well done.
My sincerest sympathies,

Dear Nash Family,
Words can't even begin to explain how sorry I am. I know that Casey is still here and that he is with you, watching over you each and every day.
I am a member of Soldiers' Angels and received Casey's name to write to last November. Since then we were able to keep in touch and I am so thankful for that. I never met Casey face to face but I have no doubt that he was a loyal, loving, honorable and wonderful person. I know that your memories together will be cherished forever.
Hugs to you all,
Lucy

Dear NASH family,
What words of comfort can one say to you at this time? I am not sure there are any such words.
I am reminded of a verse in the Bible that I wish to share with you.
" Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13
Your precious son made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of this Nation.
Please accept our most heartfelt sympathies.
We steadfastly remain in support of all our service members,

May GOD grant you the peace that passeth all understanding, and may he hold you in the hollow of his hands. GOD BLESS YOU ALL !!!

To the Family and Friends of this Soldier:
I will stand in grief with this soldier's family to honor him. For every fallen HERO there is a bright star that shines in the evening sky to remind us of the cherished gift we were given – even if for too short a time.
My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courageous young soldier who gave their life so selflessly. I wish I never found myself in a position to have to sign another guestbook for the rest of my life, but I promised Brent that neither he nor any like him would be forgotten and so I will continue until the day there is no longer the need.
We lost our son SFC Brent A. Adams on 12/1/05 and it seems like yesterday. I wish so badly there were things I could say to you right now to make the pain you are feeling go away, but I know first hand there simply are no words that will bring you the comfort and peace your heart aches for. Just know that you are not alone. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you all as you go through this tragedy moment by moment and as you mourn this loss.
We don't know each other, will probably never meet, but will forever be united in the loss of our Heroes. We have, unfortunately joined a group none of us wanted to join, an ever-growing group of families in this situation. May God grant you peace and strength to get through this and be able once again to smile at a memory rather than have only the tears that flow so easily now. To be so proud of your loved one and so saddened at the same time is a mix of emotions very difficult to deal with as our hearts both burst with pride and pain together.
I am sorry that I never knew your soldier personally. While they can never be replaced, neither will they ever be forgotten. You must trust that sometime, someday the loving memories you have will help to sustain you and help you go on. This courageous soldier will forever be your Angel watching over you all for the rest of your lives. It's what brings me some measure of peace and comfort and I hope it will you as well.
To his family and friends in pain, I offer this comfort: When you find yourself in that dark sorrowful place, think not only of how you will miss him, but instead recall the years, days, hours and minutes gifted to you by his presence. The one thing that cannot be taken from you is your wonderful memories that now will mean more than ever.
If you ever want to talk, I'm only an e:mail away and would love for you to tell me more about your Hero.
God Bless this soldier and family who gave all and God Bless legacy.com for setting up this site where families can so quickly share their condolences and prayers with others like themselves.

Dear cousin Sandra and family, Roy and I will never know the grief in your heart. We are sorry we couldn't be with you at this time, but hope that the thoughts on this page and others I've found in my search will help to ease you in time. May the angels guide him to the paradise. We are proud to consider him a family hero this memorial day.

I will never forget having Casey in my 4th Grade Sunday School class at Middle River Baptist Church. He was so pleasant, and well-behaved; he always seemed eager to be a part of whatever was going on. He was so protective of his little sister, and I remember the two of them holding hands as they came & went. Please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss. You are all in my prayers, that God will give you the peace and comfort only He can give at a time like this.

Dear Mr & Mrs Nash and Sara, my deepest sympathy to all of you. Casey made the ultimate sacrifice and so did you. It is because of young men like Casey and mothers and fathers like you that our country has freedom. I attended many of Eastern Techs football games and had the privilage of meeting Casey. He had even been to my home serveral times with his best friend Tim and my daughter, Valerie. Casey was a very kind, respectable young man. I thank you for sharing him with our country. Sincerely, Maryanne Cummins-Vail

Casey Nash played in our football program at Eastern Tech, and I enjoyed coaching him. Casey was a great player and an even better person. I wish to extend sympathies to all of his family and friends from all of us here at Eastern Tech. I am proud of the sacrifice he made for our country. However, the world was a better place with him in it, and we will all miss Casey.
