Casey Jacob Douglas Birge was born in Liberty, Texas, and grew up in Hardin and Weatherford, Texas, where he graduated high school in 1993. He then married Beth on June 16, 1995. Casey was an extremely hard worker his entire life and always strived to reach his highest potential in everything he did. He worked for ExxonMobil for almost 24 years and was a current employee at PeopleCore in Chaddsford, Pennsylvania, near his home in Oxford, Pennsylvania.
Casey was a highly dedicated and devoted husband, father, pawpaw, son, brother, uncle, coach, and friend. Casey had an outstanding presence and was larger than life. He was a proud family man whose children were the source of his greatest pride and joy. Casey was the kind of man who dropped everything if someone needed help, especially his family. One of his greatest passions in life was coaching. Casey was the kind of coach who made every player feel like they were the best athlete on and off the field and court.
