The Mighty Casey has Struck Out...

On October 31, 2005, Casey Kasem Duncan went to that big carrot patch in the sky. He was at his home in Goldsboro, NC at the time. He is survived by his pet parents, April and Chris, along with several pet grandparents and pet aunts and uncles.

Casey was born in early 1999 in Southwest Virginia. A short time later he was given to CT Farm & Country to be sold to some little one as an Easter pet. The day before Easter, he was the only bunny left. Not wanting him to be all alone for the holiday, April adopted him and took him home.

For the major part of his life, le lived in a homemade hutch in Meadowview, VA. You could tell he was a spoiled bunny – his hutch was complete with shingles and canvass side flaps that could be rolled down and snapped into place when it would get too windy. Casey also enjoyed his trips to the Little League ball park where he thought he was a dog because he was walked on a leash.

In his later years, Casey loved to travel. He took up residence with Chris at the Pi Kappa Alpha house in Terre Haute, IN between the summers of 2002 and 2003. When he would visit the local Delta Delta Delta house, he loved all the attention he would get from the girls.

After his time in Indiana, he returned to Southwest Virginia for a while to live with his pet grandma, Dotsy. But his bunny soul was restless – he wanted to see more of the country. In March of 2005, Casey made the move to North Carolina, as he missed the company of Chris. Casey also traveled to the Washington, DC area several times before his passing.

Casey will always be remembered for his cute little sideways kick/hop, the super soft fir just behind his ears, the best bunny smell ever, and for showing the neighborhood bully cat who’s boss (think Monty Python killer rabbit).

Due to the locations/distances of the relatives, the family has chosen not to have a memorial service. However, for those who loved him, a moment of silence will be observed to honor his memory beginning at 11:00 am EST on Wednesday, November 2, 2005. Condolences may be sent to the homes of his pet parents, or left here in the form of a blog note.
