Casimirus “Casey” Kurylo, age 78, died peacefully in his Monee home on 7-11-26.
Casey was born 9-26-48 in Heusden, Belgium and migrated with his parents at age 6 to Chicago Heights, Illinois.


Casey was a decorated veteran returning home after serving 2 tours of duty in Vietnam. He was an extremely talented auto mechanic and his honesty earned him a solid reputation. Casey also had a gift for computer programming and enjoyed watching television and movies on his raspberry Pi. Small children and all animals gravitated to this gentle giant like the Pied Piper.


Casey was preceded in death by his parents Walter and Anna, and his brother John. He is survived by his wife Gerri (nee Dandino), his son Andy, his daughter Sherri (Mike) Jongeward and his cat Mewskovich. Casey adored his grandchildren, Sequoia and Wolfram Kurylo. He loved being a one man audience for their magic shows and sneaking their chocolate.


Casey’s final wish was to let everyone know that he died with his full head of hair!


Happy trails Casey…….’till we meet again.

Condolences

    Sorry Gerri. He went through a lot and I’m sure you did too. It’s very difficult seeing your loved one suffer and not being able to do anything but pray. I hope we can get together soon.

    I always think of Casey as a “Gentle Giant”. With all the chaos at the condo with kids running around or on their bikes, he would have that big smile on his face. All our love to you and your family.
