He was a little league coach for his son Chris' team. He was a loving and dedicated father, beloved by so many. According to his dear friend and neighbor, Beverly G. Valen, "Even though Casey lived a modest live style, he was extremely wealthy in the ways that it counted. He loved his family and they loved him. As his neighbor for the past eight years, I witnessed how Casey lived his life to the fullest; working out, taking a sauna, going for a nice cold swim, having a tennis court at his beck and call, and having his coffee made for him in the morning, while carrying on conversations with everyone at Horace Heidt Estates. Even if Casey King was a multi-millionaire, he still would have chosen to live and reside at Horace Heidt Estates. I will miss him and counted him among my dear friends."

In addition to his mother, Casey was survived by; his children, Bridget and Christopher; a sister, Talia (nee Balsam) Clooney Slattery and her husband, John M. Slattery, Jr. ; and a nephew, Harry Slattery.
