 HIGGINS, KASEY L. On October 25, 2012, Kasey Lee Higgins, age 19, found peace with his Lord following injuries sustained in a car accident in Oklahoma on October 24th. Kasey was born on July 4, 1993 in Albuquerque. He will always be the beloved son of Kiel and Kelli Higgins and adored "little" (6 foot 8 inch) brother of Kelsey Higgins and Kyle Higgins. He was treasured as a loyal friend, and cherished as a grandson, nephew, cousin, and teammate. Kasey is survived by grandparents Judy Graham, and Terry and Sharon Higgins; aunt Holli and uncle Tim Asselin and cousins Graham and Alli; uncle Ronne and aunt Sonja Higgins and cousins Leanne and Jacob; uncle Bari and aunt Lisa Higgins and cousins Cole and Corey; uncle Broc and aunt Gail Higgins and cousins Drew, Tyler, Lindsay, Brenna, and Logan. Kasey lived life to the fullest-always seeing the best in people and always giving 150%. He had a great sense of humor, an infectious laugh, and was good for a joke in any moment. He was famous for that look which said, "You just said something crazy." His legendary dimpled smile and the sparkle in his eyes would light up any situation and place a lasting impression upon your heart. He had a great love for pets, especially dogs, including his beloved canine buddies Roxy and Shwayze. Kasey also enjoyed and excelled in many sports, including football, fishing, mixed martial arts and, above all, baseball. He was an exceptionally talented baseball player at Del Norte High School, Trinidad State Jr. College, Luna Community College, and Oklahoma Panhandle State University. Kasey's family is deeply grateful for the outpouring of love, prayers, care, memories, and support shared during this difficult time.
