Casey DODSON Obituary

DODSON Casey W. II Casey W. Dodson II, passed away December 3, 2011 at the age of 31. Casey was born in Toledo on June 16, 1980 to Casey W. and Kathryn (Gebhardt) Dodson I. Casey worked for Libby Glass and Corian Counters. Casey was also a Toy Collector whether it was action figures or movie characters, and not to mention his collection of Red Wings memorabilia, of which he was a huge fan of, and not to forget his football team the Chicago Bears. An amazing young man, Casey was a dreamer, planner, artist, and a movie historian, if anyone had a question about a movie Casey was the one to ask, if anyone needed help with a project Casey was always there. Casey is survived by his parents, Casey and Kathryn; sister Sarah (Chad) Tavares; grandmother Ellen Sharlow; aunts and uncles, Matt and Carleen Dodson, Tim and Mary Fackler, John and Debbie Hochstetter, Robert and Julie Gebhardt and Paul and Victoria Schaaf; his girlfriend Mandi Muller; his best friends Shane Staccone, Shawn Sanders, Todd Duell and his Wingman Aaron Hayes along with a very special friend Alora Moore. Casey William Dodson II passed on to bigger and better things. Casey was full of life and had no problem sharing it with someone he just met or with those who have known him his whole life. It didn't matter what task, he was always up for it, and he was always there to lend a helping hand. Casey's positive energy spilled from his heart and onto whoever was lucky enough to have come into contact with him. To say he will be missed is an understatement. Those who were close to him know that Casey and his shenanigans will always be with us. We love you Casey, you will always be remembered. You will remain in our hearts as what we have known you to be, the best son, brother, and friend that anyone could ever ask for. We all know he's doing something he's always wanted to do at this very moment and loving every minute of it. May Dudeson rest in peace. Join us for a celebration of Casey's life Sunday, December 11, 2011 6 p.m. at Doc Watson's 1515 S. Byrne Rd. Please view and sign Casey's Book of Memories at caringcremationservices.com

Casey, you will be missed. From times at Video News, Big Boys, Frankie's, and everywhere inbetween. I remember the last time i saw you was at Wesley's and we were talking about Mafia Wars. I'm just going to miss seeing around my friend.

December 11, 2011

Casey, I remember you smiling and laughing at Video News in the short time we worked together there. Being down to earth and treating everyone like a friend is what i remember most about you. My thoughts go out to your family.

Big Casey, Kathy and my dear Sarah....words cannt express how deeply sorry I feel for your loss. Casey was a wonderful soul with a great big heart and shared it with everyone he blessed his presence with. Many memories will be kept of him, from all of those times he was the "cool babysitter", letting us do all of the things we were not supposed to do, and letting Sarah and I come join his fun with the older kids when we were growing up. You'll be missed, Casey....my thoughts and prayers go out to you and your wonderful family through this difficult time.

I am a resident @ The Teamster's Residence where I have seen Casey working. I did not know him personally; I was aware of his relationship with Mandi. My heart goes out to the family, especially Mandi, my on site Resident Manager. I have seen both of them working together on the property to accomplish a task of some sort or another..they seemed very happy doing things that required a dedication that went above and beyond to make our property a better enviroment for all of us who reside here. My first impression of him was that he and Mandi were a team. I was given the news of his death by another resident. I was shocked beyond belief. I am so so so sorry for the loss of your loved one. May he rest at peace. The obit says so much about his life and what kind of person he was. I cannot even extract the proper words to console or comfort nor convey to the family and Mandi. My prayers go out to all who knew him on a personal level, those who loved him dearly. My deepest condolences. Sincerely, Ruth Major 73A
