Casey Jade Beams

Casey Jade Beams, 31 years old, of Idaho Falls, passed away at his home on April 24th, 2021.

Casey was born on October 17th, 1989 to Shawna Winterbottom-Jenkins and Richard Beams in Idaho Falls. He grew up in Idaho Falls with his mom, Shawna, and dad, Kendal, sisters, Kris and April, and his brother Kenny. Casey did Cub Scouts with his brother Kenny. Him and his brother began racing motocross with their friend Garrett and developed quite the love of the sport. Kenny and Casey spent time together doing everything from hanging out at home to anything they could do outside. 

He developed a passion for fishing, camping, and spending time with his family and his friends. Rootbeer was a favorite drink for him. Casey and Kenny loved snowboarding together and taking the snow machines out  with their dad every winter.

At the age of 15, Casey decided to move to Nampa with his dad, Richard, and mom, Penny, his sister, Kaisha, and his brothers, Shawn, Bryon, and Colton. Casey attended and graduated from Vallivue High School in 2008, where he successfully played football and he broke the deadlift weightlifting record. He made many friends while living in the Boise/ Nampa area and enjoyed going back often to catch up. Casey then moved back to Idaho Falls in 2009 when he met his wife, Shayleigh and later married her in 2014.

Painting became a passion for Casey and a way to provide for his family until his back got too bad to do it anymore. He still did it as a side job to keep his skill on point. Casey worked as a Credit Analyst at the time of his passing. He was the top of sales at the office and was 22nd in sales in the company. He was a devoted husband, a loving father, and loyal friend. He loved taking his family camping and fishing year after year. Casey was able to purchase his Harley a few weeks before his passing and enjoyed the hell out of it.
