It's really heartbreaking that Chris Casey, the co-host of The Captain and Casey Show, has passed away.
He was well-known for his quick wit and his deep passion for skateboarding. Casey played an influential role in bringing skateboarding into people's homes through his show on FUEL TV.
The series, which started in 2004 alongside Jeff Carlson (Captain Fun) and the late co-host Casey, became an OG skate show, showcasing the best footage, interviews, and raw, unscripted humor that connected fans with the skateboarding community.
The heartbreaking news of Casey's passing was shared by Mackenzie Eisenhour, a contributing editor at Transworld SKATEboarding.
In a heartfelt post, Eisenhour expressed his sorrow: "š Very sad to report this news: Rest in Peace Chris Casey akaĀ @notcaseyagain. Chris suffered a heart attack a few days back while working in St. Louis and was in a medically induced coma. I was told this morning that he has passed on. Love you Chris you were one of the most incredible humans I ever met. Will miss you forever brother.Ā #ripchriscasey"
Casey's impact on skateboarding media was profound, and his presence will be deeply missed by all who knew him and by those who watched The Captain and Casey Show.
If you want to honor Casey's legacy and feel the magic that he brought to skateboarding, you have to watch one of the most iconic episodes where skate legend Lance Mountain, is the special guest.
Itās not just an episodeāitās a piece of history that captures what made Chris and The Captain and Casey Show so unforgettable. Rest in Peace.
