Casey

The family of James Garland Casey, 83, of Chickasha, will hold private memorial services at a later date.

James Garland Casey was born October 2, 1943, in Chickasha, Oklahoma. He was the son of “Doc” Welch Henderson and Wanda Myrlene (Parks) Henderson. He passed from this life on November 11, 2026, at his home in Chickasha, Oklahoma.

James, known as Casey by so many, was working in the oilfield beside his father by the time he was 13 years old. He spent his lifetime in the oilfield, riding the highs and lows of the business and traveling the world and the United States. He eventually owned Casey Consultants. James was a man that had made innumerable friends, everybody loved Casey.

Casey loved his parents dearly and had a special bond with his mother. He loved his family and always provided for them. He was happy and one of the coolest guys around. He was funny and a great storyteller. He was known to be wild and rambunctious and had many adventures over the years. He was very generous and looked out for his grandchildren Kassi and Zach. Recently, two of his children, Jackie and Anthony, found him and he had never known that they existed. This was a cherished blessing at the end of his life.

He was preceded in death by his mom Wanda M. Henderson and dad Doc Henderson; maternal grandparents Ollie Fay (Robinson) Parks and Tom Parks, and his grandson Blake Casey.

Loved ones left to remember him are his daughters Tiffany Hacker and husband James of Yukon, Tandi McQueen of Oklahoma City, Jackie Booe of Texas and Anthony Keith and wife Jennifer of Missouri; grandchildren Kassi Davis, Zachary Davis and fiancée Teresa Davis, Tyler Lamb, Corie and Melissa Tucker, Stevie (Tucker) and Nick Cantu, Raegan Keith, McKenzie Keith, and Tucker Keith; great-grandchildren Camden, Nova, Odis, Bernie Jo, David, Hallie, Eden, and Frankie; step-children Amy and JJ Kinslow, who he cared deeply for; and other extended family and friends.
