He was born on July 18, 1956, in Covington, Kentucky, to Fred Carl Boswell Sr. and Jennie Seed Boswell, who preceded him in death. He was also preceded in death by his brothers, Howard Boswell, Roy Boswell, and Gary Boswell and sister-in- law, Lisa Smith Boswell. Due to ongoing health challenges, Casey was forced to step away from his work.

Casey was a funny and wonderful storyteller who loved people, especially his family—and most of all, his Grandchildren, who were perfect in his eyes and with whom he cherished every moment. He had a way of lighting up any room with his stories and humor and was always full of kindness and love for others. Casey was the kind of person who would give you his last dollar or the shirt off his back if it were needed.

Casey had a great sense of humor and a lifelong love of sports, and stories are still told of his glory days playing basketball and football. He especially enjoyed betting on racehorses and took great pride in his handicapping skills. He never missed a chance to enjoy Jeopardy!

Casey believed in the Lord as his greatest source of strength and trusted deeply that He takes care of us always. He lived with gratitude and gave praise to God, a faith that guided and comforted him throughout his life. It was said that “there was a depth to Casey’s goodness that cheered others and brought them hope through laughter and the simple reminiscing of shared memories.” He will be remembered for the joy, laughter, humor, and love he shared with everyone around him.

He is survived by his wife, Angela Billiter Boswell; his sons, Travis Boswell (Jessica), Brannon Billiter (Karissa), and Ryan Billiter (Mandi), siblings: Shelley Mayberry (Mike) sister, Charles Boswell and Fred Boswell brothers, 10 grandchildren and three great grandchildren, many nieces, nephews and cousins.

This is Grief during the holidays.
A tangled…
Confusing..

Intertwined mess of emotions.

And the rude realization that..

The world goes on.
Lights are still strung. The towns are bustling.
Neighbors competing for the largest inflatable Santa.
The outside world from your grief looks..
Familiar and almost foreign at the same time.

You can see that the lights are shining but grief has its way of dimming them. Like a filter over your old life.

You hold on to them. And try.

But you are just trying to figure it all out. In a world so different but going on just the same.

But how? When one person is gone…
Your Person.. the whole world feels lonely.

Especially this time of the year.

And even the best display of twinkle lights can’t overcome the darkness.

You think you can untangle one emotion…only to be wrapped up in another..

Exhaustion and frustration sets in..

Wanting so badly to feel some of that old nostalgic feeling and shoving it all back in the storage bin and try again next year.

If you are holding on to this string of emotional confusion this year…

Know you are not alone.

There are many of us trying to figure out how to untangle this relentless sting.

And it’s ok to leave it.
Because you are working through enough as it is.
And pushing yourself to be festive in the most un-festive part of your life is just counterintuitive.

So you can just let it be.

But we also can hold on to the hope of working through some of these emotions in the year to come.

And maybe next year…when you look at your grief..
The shape may be different. You may be open to let some of the twinkle lights shine through the filter.

Just give yourself the gift of grace and time to work yourself through it.
