My condolences to Stanley and family. Some people you never forget, and Casey was one of them. We played little league together for the Pan American Jets and coach Ken Rankin. A good athlete back then and always a load of fun. God bless

I knew Casey from high school. He was a gentle soul. Everyone like him. We became friends when someone at West Valley was bullying him and I stepped in to stop it. We became friends and he asked me to teach him to defend himself. Good memories of teaching him the basic skill of boxing in my families barn in the dead of winter. We lost touch after high school but I saw him in 2002 when I was bartending at Lavelle's bistro. It was so good to see him and talk of old times. God bless you Casey Ahkvaluk. I will see you in heaven my friend.
