Gary Lee Casey

Gary Casey, 76, of Walla Walla, lost his battle with cancer and passed away peacefully at home on April 28, 2022, surrounded by his family. He was born to his parents, Ulis and Elva Casey, on June 5, 1945, in Yakima, WA. Gary graduated from Naches High School and later obtained a bachelor’s degree in Ministry.

Gary surrendered his life to Christ on June 30, 1974, was licensed to preach in 1976, and ordained in 1977. He had a strong faith and deep love for people.

Gary pastored five churches in 37 years, with 23 being in Walla Walla. In spite of Gary’s desire to “serve till Jesus comes,” he was forced to retire in 2012 due to health issues.

Gary married Charlotte Pottenger in August of 1962. She was the “Love of his Life” and has tenderly cared for him till the very end. Gary is also survived by his daughter, Michelle Wilde, and husband Del; son, Michael Casey; and a host of grandchildren/great-grandchildren. Gary was preceded in death by his parents and brother, Robert.
