Didn't know him, but supposedly he was one of the supervisors of the WSOP Deepstacks tournaments over the past few years.On Thursday, August 2, Casey Jones fell into a coma while travelling through New Mexico. He has remained in ICU in Las Cruces, without improvement since that time. As his family has gathered around him, the doctors have broken the sad news that there is little or no hope for any sort of recovery.
Today Casey passed away.
Casey was only 29 years old
Casey, as an independent, travelling poker dealer and supervisor, worked hard to provide a future for his young family, but like most of the people in that field didn't have the luxury of health or life insurance.
Casey loved his family (especially his 3 years old twins Sadie and Kennedy), his career, sports (especially basketball) and his friends.
Despite the weird "fell into a coma while traveling" language, it has been said that he actually had a heart attack while sleeping.
