It is with heavy hearts and deep sorrow that we share the tragic news of the passing of our dear friend and colleague, Casey Baird. As we grapple with this profound loss, we are reminded of the incredible impact Casey had on everyone who knew him. His passing has left a void that words can hardly express, but we take solace in the memories of his warmth, humor, and genuine love for others.
Casey was much more than a colleague or a friend—he was a beacon of light to everyone around him. His infectious energy, ever-present smile, and deep care for people made him a cherished presence in any room. Whether it was during work hours or outside of them, Casey made a difference in the lives of everyone he touched. He had a unique way of making others feel seen and valued, and his ability to bring joy to even the darkest of moments was unparalleled.
For those of us who had the privilege of knowing him well, it’s impossible to overstate the magnitude of this loss. His kindness, humor, and unwavering loyalty were constants in our lives. He had an innate ability to brighten the day of anyone around him, always showing up with a story, a joke, or simply a listening ear. Casey was a true rockstar—both on and off the airwaves—and his contribution to the radio world was immeasurable. His legacy as a beloved #radiopersonality will continue to inspire future generations of broadcasters.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to his wife, Julie, his family, and all those who loved him. This loss is felt not just by those closest to him but by an entire community. The ripple effect of Casey’s warmth and kindness will continue to echo long after his passing. We will carry his memory with us, honoring the countless ways he touched our lives.
As we remember Casey, let us hold dear the lessons he imparted through his life: the importance of kindness, of showing up for others, and of sharing love without hesitation. We are deeply grateful for the time we had with him and for the many ways he enriched our lives.
Rest easy, Casey. You will always be missed, but your spirit will live on in all of us. Our hearts are with you, Julie, and your family. Thank you, Casey, for everything you gave to the world—your light will never fade.
