Casey Allen Quagliano, 25, passed away February 4th, 2023. Casey was
born on July 28th, 1997, to Debbie and Brian Quagliano in Colby, Kansas.
Casey was a graduate of Colby High School where he met the love of his
life Sabryn O’Gara. Sabryn and Casey started dating in 2013 and finally
got married on August 31st, 2019.
After high school Casey decided to follow his passion of playing
baseball and walked on as a Pitcher at Colby Community College. He spent
one-year red shirting in Colby before transferring to McCook Community
College in McCook, Nebraska. Casey and Sabryn both moved up to McCook
where they would spend 3 years and on September 2nd, 2020, Casey’s real
dream started. Sabryn gave birth to a beautiful baby boy named Price.
Shortly after Price was born, they returned to Colby to be surrounded by
family as they embarked on the journey of parenthood.
Casey worked for
the Colby Housing Authority where many of the residents would tell you
he was a very happy person who was always willing to make someone smile
with a joke or a kind word. When you think of what it means to be a
genuinely good human being Casey checked every one of those boxes.
Casey was the kind of man that a lot of people dream of being. A
hard-working family man who loved spending time with his wife and son
whenever he got the chance. He loved watching sports and cheering on his
favorite teams, the Nebraska Cornhuskers, Atlanta Braves and, much to
the chagrin of his brother Nate, the New England Patriots. If it was
nice outside that’s where you could find Casey, playing in the backyard
or the driveway with Price or hanging out at the ball fields helping his
brother Nate with the fields or umping softball. The word that
perfectly described Casey was family. Casey and Sabryn would spend most
evenings enjoying time with Casey’s parents, always willing to let them
come over and spoil Price every chance they got.
Casey was preceded in death by his grandmother Shirley Coleman (Grandma
Grey). He is survived by his wife, Sabryn Quagliano (O’Gara) and son
Price; parents, Debbie and Brian Quagliano; brother Nathan Quagliano and
his fiancé Courtney Reilley along with her son Charlie; grandfather
