Casey William Slattery

39, of St. Louis, Missouri, formerly of Indianapolis, passed away July 20, 2022. He was born March 17, 1983 to John ‘Jack’ Slattery and Karen Slattery. We are devastated and don’t know much, but we know that he was feeling ill in the days leading up to his death. We are shocked and still attempting to process everything that comes with unexpectedly losing someone you love. Casey was a truly unique person. He was a funny introvert with a sharp memory and strong opinions. He always had a Simpson’s quote to apply to life. Forever true to himself, he had a very funny sense of humor and a passion for things that were old. Even as a young child, Casey collected antiques and taxidermy. He would sit in a rocking chair in his room and listen to the music from the 1920s and 1950s; he loved old songs, and he had an old soul. He loved the holidays and decorating his parent’s house to the nines for Halloween and Christmas. He was featured in the Indianapolis Star in 1995 for his spooky Halloween decorations. Casey was always a hard worker who appreciated making money. He started a lawn mowing business when he was twelve, and he would frequently work from 7am to 7pm, which eventually allowed him to purchase a few Mercedes Benz convertibles and a 1985 Ferrari Mondial. He worked on his lawn mowing business through college, and he had over 100 customers throughout various Indianapolis neighborhoods. He was a member of Boy Scout Troop #174, where he earned the rank of Eagle Scout. He loved camping, fishing and being outside; as a child he would bring home turtles, snakes and crawdads from the nearby Indy canal. He continued to exercise that spirit of adventure through his many travels, including a month backpacking in Europe and seeing many of the US National Parks with his family. Casey was a graduate of Immaculate Heart of Mary grade school, Brebeuf Jesuit High School and he received his bachelors and MBA from the University of Dayton. Upon graduation from Dayton, he worked for Eli Lilly as a marketing analyst. He then moved to St. Louis and worked for Mallinkrodt Pharmaceuticals and Wells Fargo. He loved to talk about business and had an incredible knowledge of pharmaceuticals. Casey was proud of his 1886 old house in Indy on Woodruff Place. When he moved to St. Louis, he purchased a 3 story home and filled it with all of his antiques and taxidermy. He was very proud of his home. He loved his Golden Irish dogs, Reagan and Riley. We loved him immensely and will miss him. Casey is survived by his parents, Jack and Karen Slattery; his sister Dena Slattery of San Diego; Uncles David McCormick (Louise); Dale McCormick (Debra); Harold McCormick (Paula), Steve Slattery, and Aunts, Susan Plank and Mary Swank and numerous cousins. Visitation will be Saturday, August 6, 2022 from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm. at Shirley Brothers, Fishers Castleton Chapel, 9000 Allisonville Road.
