Casey CANTWELL Obituary
It is with great sadness that we say farewell to Casey, who has left us on his final bike ride, surrounded by family. He died peacefully at Christchurch Hospital on January 28, 2026, aged 79 years. Casey was a loved husband and best friend of Chrissie. Cherished father of Hollie and Jake. Loved father-in-law to So Young. Devoted Pappa to Rico, Hendrix and Rocco. Adored brother and brother-in-law of Debbie and Chris Frank. An uncle, a cousin and an amazing friend to many. Casey's family would like to thank the staff at Holly Lea Village Care Centre and Christchurch Hospital FlexCare Ward for their constant care. To Dementia Canterbury a heartfelt thank you for all the services you provide for our Dementia community. In lieu of flowers please, donations made directly to Dementia Canterbury would be appreciated. Thank you to all the support offered by friends and family during this difficult time. A celebration of Casey's colourful life will be held at a later date. Any correspondence to be sent to PO Box 36788, Merivale, Christchurch 8146.
