Memories of Seamus Casey

My memory

JohnC Sep 17, 2011

I heard you only twice. the first time in March 2004, at a concert in Auckland. I had taken my mother, who was herself to die only 8 months later. She was so impressed with Seamus' singing, as I was too, that she went up to you afterwards to congratulate you. Such great ability, and greater potential, lost tragically young. I feel such sorrow for your widow. Far too soon to be separated.

You were an inspiration

Dan Jun 01, 2011

Seamus,

It's such a tragedy to hear you've passed on.

You and I worked together at Big Fresh Christchurch when we were at school. You were such a lovely chap, always friendly and cheerful, making everyone around you feel good. You took a genuine interest in people and were always so encouraging of everyone. You also befriended me despite my lack of social graces!

I remember attending one of the interschool concerts and hearing your amazing solo. I also listened to your first radio show, 'Seamus the try-hard jock' - good listening!

It's great to see that you were doing so well in your talents; it was well-deserved.

What a tragedy to see you go. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Shocked to hear of your passing

Ethan Oct 02, 2010

You probably never knew me but I remember you because you gave many great singing performances at Burnside High School in NZ.

I went to a musical performance earlier tonight and it reminded me of you. So I got home and searched your name on the internet, thinking you are probably a successful singer by now.

I am shocked to hear of your passing, and my thoughts go out to your loved ones.

Ethan, from Sydney.

Seamus was my cricket captain when I first joined Burnside High School after immigrating to New Zealand in 1997. He was a wonderful, humorous guy with a great voice. I remember feeling homesick during those early days but playing cricket on Saturdays with Seamus and the boys really did ease the anxiety of integrating into a new society. I am really sad to hear about Seamus's passing, at such a young age. My thoughts go out to his family.

Seamus, I have only found out today and i feel so sad, we worked together at Virgin Mobile and there was never a dull moment when you were around, you did soo many funny things, one of those was your 5 second rule, and singing all the time. You were soo cool and im sure that your star is shining brighter than ever.

I worked with Seamus at MetLife and I am very sorry that it was for such a short time. He was such a vibrant personality (funky hat on a Friday) and achieved so much in the short time that he was with us. He is sorely missed. My thoughts go out to Laura and his family at this hard time.

Greatest Opera Singer in Virgin Mobile

You will be missed mate. Everytime we heard you singing out loud in the halls, you would make us laugh and smile with your growing tunes.

RIP

My Memory

Anna Wise May 19, 2008

I was one of Laura's bridesmaids just four months ago, and Laura and Seamus were the happiest couple anyone could imagine. Both of them absolutely glowed, and it was clear how in love they were. This is a tragic loss, and Seamus will be missed terribly.

Loudest bass in history!

dave whitaker May 19, 2008

I used to sing barbershop quartet with Seamus at high school. He would sing bass, and occassionally when he wanted to he used to drown out all the rest of us! In fact he used to drown out the whole male voice chorus! A lovely guy, I was shocked and saddened to hear of his death. I trust He is with the Lord now.

My Memory

Karen Howell May 18, 2008

I was shocked to learn the death of Seamus Casey. I always remembered him as such an outgoing bright bubbly and very funny person. I went through school with Seamus, primary, intermediate and high school. My thoughts are with his family at this very sad time. RIP xxx

Patrick M. Power O.N.Z.M. May 18, 2008

I worked with the brave and funny Seamus on a couple of operas and saw him
ever positive, helpful and considerate. He lifted the mood of anything he was near.
I also had the privilege of helping him with his voice in both Christchurch and Perth and so I
got to see a very thoughtful and serious Seamus as well. He is a great loss.Requiescat in Pace,Seamus.
My love and prayers to you Laura and to Brendan.
Patrick.

A Gentleman and True Friend

Triona Walsh May 18, 2008

Dear Seamus,
What a tragic loss for all of us. I am so shocked and upset by your sudden departure. You were a gentleman in every sense of the word. A loyal friend and a generous soul. My love and best wishes go out to Laura and to your family in New Zealand. I will never forget you (or the amazing variety of ways which you managed to hold up your trousers with a piece of rope during Three Penny Opera in 2007! )

Love you so much and will miss you deeply.
