In March of 2015, he achieved his commercial pilots license leading him to move forward with his career by joining Gulf Coast Helicopters, fulfilling his dream of working and flying for a living.However, Caseys greatest accomplishment was living life to its fullest. He never missed an opportunity to snowboard, skydive, wakeboard, or spend a day at the Sluice Boxes. He loved the thrill of his motorcycle, but just as much loved every minute spent with family, friends, and his beloved dog, Lucy. He approached everyday with a vision of fun and excitement. Casey often used his quick wit and creativity to play clever pranks on friends and family members. His sense of humor was one of the ways he expressed his love and friendship to those around him.Casey lived the life we should all live. His life was full of joy, love, and laughter. He is a light that will continue to shine for all that had the pleasure of knowing and loving him. He leaves us with a lesson to live each day doing what you love and settling for nothing less.Casey is survived by his parents, Bob and Val Clark of Great Falls; and brother Tyler Clark, of Bakersfield, CA.
