Kasten, Sergeant Kory A., (affectionately known as Captain K), 43, died peacefully surrounded by his family and friends on April 27, 2017, in St. Louis, Missouri. Kory was born in St. Louis, Missouri, to Alice and Ed Kasten. He graduated from Oakville High School in 1990, and immediately enlisted in the Marines proudly serving his country from 1991 to 1994. He married Kate Moeckel in 2006 and became the proud father of Jonathan and Zoe. Kory is survived by his wife Kate, son Jonathan, daughter Zoe, and sisters Natasha Baker and Kerry Kasten.
