Casey Joe Rinehart, age 31 of Parker, died early Sunday morning, October 31, 2010 in an automobile accident.
He was born on April 2, 1979 in Boone, Iowa to Kevin and Collette Nebel Rinehart.
Casey attended school at Parker Elementary and South Fremont High School. After graduation he had worked in many areas of agriculture and construction but mostly enjoyed his skills in roofing. He had worked at Artco as a press operator and with Gold's North Fork Roofing in St. Anthony. He had recently moved to Utah to be near his brother, sister and nephews and continue his construction trade.
Casey loved the outdoors, camping, four wheeling and most of all fishing. He was a die hard fan of the Dallas Cowboys and never missed taking his sons and nephews to the Fremont County Search and Rescue Demolition Derby. His nephews loved him for the tease he was and could always count on him for a wresting match.
Casey most loved being a dad to Kaden and Jesse. He considered his 2 boys his proudest accomplishments.
Casey loved his family. He was a loyal friend to a close circle of people who knew they could count on him. Many will miss his smile, his laugh and sense of humor. Most recently he had the opportunity to volunteer his construction services for the Extreme Home Make over in Pocatello. He was so honored and proud to be a part of helping make someone else's life better by doing what he could to help.
He is survived by his sons, Jesse Ryan Rinehart of Jerome and Kaden Michael Rinehart of Idaho Falls, his parents, Kevin and Collette Rinehart of Island Park, brother, Cody Rinehart of Utah and sister, Kaylee Rinehart Jensen of Utah.
