Casey planned to build a certification school for trainers. This was going to be a complete training facility that would train trainers in a state-of-the-art facility that would be medically supervised. Potential trainers would come from all over the southeast to learn to be fitness instructors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Casey stressed the importance of a fitness routine… he helped clients with motivation, nutrition, and technique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has helped people that were obese, in rehabilitation, or injured. He has worked with professional athletes and movie stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately on September 4, 2013 he bid Adieu to this world in ClearWater, FL from a cardiac arrest. RIP Casey! We will always remember you, the Gentle Giant!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
