“He did not deserve a second of this. He will be missed by everyone in the community. The loss of Kasey has brought everyone down to their knees. As a family we would like to thank all the staff at Aintree Hospital who looked after Kasey and ourselves as a family. We are also so grateful to the whole community for the love and support they have given to us as a family.”
