The father and son are two of five people who have perished as a result of the explosion.
The Clontz family declined an interview, but Jen Clontz, Casey’s wife and Keegan’s mom, and Casey’s best friend, Nick Davis, offered details of lives that they said enriched so many around them.Their smiles and laughter filled their family’s and friends’ hearts with joy that can never be replaced, the family said.
Casey might be best remembered for his ability to make others laugh and his knack for giving those closest to him a hard time — lovingly, of course. He loved the Steelers — a devoted member of Steelers Nation — and he proudly wore his allegiance in the form of a tattoo on his leg. Casey has a twin sister, Rachel, and a younger sister, Ashley. Casey kept a close relationship with his sisters and his mother, Donna, and father, Tom.It’s perhaps no surprise that Keegan was with Casey on Saturday. His family said he often could be found alongside his father.
He enjoyed playing football, hunting, fishing and riding his mini bike. He adored his friends and was described by his family as the perfect teammate, always there to support his team. Mostly, he thrived in being part of the game and part of everyone’s lives involved.Casey and Jen met in seventh grade and kept in touch over the years. They were married 14 years.
