Casey Roche Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jul. 23, 2025.


It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Casey Richard Roche, who died tragically in a car accident while on a family vacation. Casey was 39 years old.

A devoted husband and father, Casey leaves behind his beloved wife, Carrie, and their five children: Travis (23), Alyssa (16), Aubrey (14), Arya (7), and Alana (6), who were the light of his life. Born on August 23, 1985, Casey was the cherished son of Margaret "Peggy" Johansen and John Casey Roche. He is survived by his siblings Catherine, Hailey, Robert, and Charlie, his nephews Rodger and Rhys and niece, Ella who remember him as a loyal and loving brother and uncle. He was preceded in death by his sister, Charlotte. Casey was a treasured nephew, cousin, and friend to many and held a special place in the hearts of all who knew him.

Casey's warmth, humor, and big heart touched many lives. His passing leaves a void that can never be filled, but his memory will live on in the stories, smiles, and love shared by those he leaves behind.

A memorial service to celebrate Casey's life will be held on Saturday, July 26th at 9:30 AM at St. Christina's Catholic Church in Mt. Greenwood.

To Peggy, Mary Beth and Family,

At this tragic time, what shines through is the monumental love you share as a family and Carey´s place in that fine family. May the strength of your family sustain you now and going forward and may the Carey experiences you all recall and share now and going forward comfort you and be his living legacy.

I have been friends with Casey for over 20 years. We met as teenagers and he quickly became a constant in our lives. He could always put a smile on your face, and like it or not, would always be there for you; as long you had his ever changing phone number. I wish I would have gotten to see you one more time. We couldn't wait to see you guys when you came up. I know you are in heaven watching over all of us and will remain in our hearts forever. I will keep an eye on your girls for. Love you always friend. Something I know you will remember, well....

Casey was and still is, forever and always my father. We cared like no other and I will never forget it. When times were hard he would always be there with candy in hand, as a way to comfort without the awkward dad hug. His love was never ending, for his kids and wife.
