Casey Tyler Giles, 37, of Richmond, passed away peacefully Saturday, October 24, 2026, at North Kansas City Hospital, surrounded by his loving family.
Casey was born on October 19, 1989, in Blue Springs, the son of Timothy and Kristine “Kris” Giles.
Survivors include: his father, Timothy (Laura) Giles of Liberty; his mother, Kris Giles of Richmond; two brothers, Dakota Giles of Gladstone and Dustin Giles of Richmond; stepbrother, Joe Brock; two nephews, Braden and Atlas; and his cat, Scrambles. He is survived by many aunts, uncles, cousins, and other relatives and friends.
He was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Gill Giles and Walt and Norma Register, and maternal grandmother, Yvonne Payne.
Casey attended school in Richmond. He later graduated in 2008 as valedictorian from the Lexington Student Success Center. Casey was employed by Ford Motor Company.
Casey had a heart that knew no bounds, especially when it came to his family and friends. He genuinely cared for others and touched countless lives through his kindness, compassion, and willingness to help those in need. He made a lasting difference in the lives of many, particularly through his involvement in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and the Oxford Community, where he offered encouragement, understanding, and support to others on their journeys through recovery.
Casey’s generous spirit and desire to help others remained evident even in his passing, as he gave the ultimate gift of life through organ donation. Through this final, selfless act, Casey’s legacy of love and compassion will continue to live on, offering hope and a second chance at life to others. He will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all who knew and loved him.
