We're shocked and saddened to get the news of Chris Casey's passing. From one of Chris' dearest friends, Mackenzie Eisenhour, "Chris suffered a heart attack a few days back while working in St. Louis and was on a medically induced coma. I was told this morning that he has passed on."

Chris was a staple in the West LA/Hot Rod Skateshop scene, having one of the most memorable jump ramp clips in Chomp On This (see second slide above). He launched the wildly successful Captain & Casey Show with Jeff Carlson that ran for years and hosted every pro skater and personality under the sun. Chris moved back to his hometown of St. Louis and continued to work with the local scene, helping build their DIYs, and more.

And information about donations will be updated to this article. Rest in peace, Chris. You always touched us with positive vibes. You will be dearly missed.
