Kasey Ryan Siepe

Kasey Ryan Siepe, age 44, of Wayne, New Jersey, passed away peacefully on Sunday, November 16, 2025, with his loving family by his side, following a courageous battle with cancer.

Born in Paterson and raised in Wayne, Kasey was the youngest of three children to Kim and Karen Siepe. From an early age, he displayed exceptional athletic talent, especially on the baseball field. He was a standout player throughout his youth and went on to play for the Wayne Valley High School Boys Varsity Baseball Team. One of the many things he was proud of was being captain of the Wayne Valley baseball team , in the footsteps of his Uncle's Craig. Jeff and his father Kim.

 He was a graduate of the Wayne Valley, Class of 1998.  Kasey continued his academic and athletic journey at Greensboro College in North Carolina. While there, he studied Business Administration and graduated with his bachelor’s degree in 2002.

Following college, Kasey returned home and quickly began building his professional career. Landing a role in the healthcare field, he quickly excelled into the administrator role,  most recently at The Buckingham at Norwood, where he was admired for his work ethic and dedication.

Kasey never lost his passion for sports. He was a devoted fan of the Chicago Bears, the New York Yankees, and the New Jersey Devils. He also continued to enjoy playing sports himself, participating in softball leagues in his Packanack Lake community and playing hockey in local leagues in Wayne and Hackensack. An enthusiastic golfer, he enjoyed exploring courses throughout New Jersey and traveling on golf trips with close friends.

In 2007, while out with friends at The Barnyard in Totowa, Kasey met an attractive young lady bartending by the name of Effie Haralambidis.  This was an encounter that changed the course of his life. The two connected and began dating.  As fate would have it, they fell in love and in the presence of family and friends became husband and wife on September 08, 2019. The couple built their life together first in Pine Brook, where they welcomed their first two children; Kristian and Zoi and then moving to Packanack and welcoming their third child Dylan.  

Above all, Kasey’s greatest passion was his family. He treasured six years of loving and loyal marriage to his wife Effie.  Nothing in the world meant more to Kasey than providing for and spending time with his friends and family.  He treasured his summer family vacations to Brigantine, NJ.  Though quiet by nature, he possessed a fiery spirit, a deeply kind heart, and an unwavering devotion to those he loved. He defended his family fiercely, loved them wholeheartedly, and brought endless laughter to their lives with his sharp, dry, and wonderfully sarcastic sense of humor. He delighted in teasing those closest to him, which became his personal trademark.

He will be remembered as a loving husband, a devoted father, a dedicated son, and a wonderfully kind spirit.  He will be sincerely missed by everyone that knew him.

Kasey is survived by his wife Effie Siepe of Wayne, NJ , his three children; Kristian, Zoi, and Dylan, his father Kim Siepe and step mother Lisa of Lake Hopatcong, two sisters; Keather Siepe and her partner Andy Picarelli of Pompton Plains, and Kourtney Simonson and her partner Tim of Newton, NJ, Six nieces and nephews; Kyana, Meiha, Kenna, Kacer, Jeffrey and Everleigh, three uncles; Craig Siepe and his life partner Narmeen, Jeff Siepe and his wife Juani and Keith Radhuber and his wife Janice. Kasey was predeceased by his mother Karen Siepe.
