Casey Kasem’s Kids End Custody Battle As They Allow Their Father’s Body To Be Under Jean Kasem’s Charge While They Pay Tribute To Their Dad

As Casey Kasem finally meets death, things have become peaceful as his kids and wife stopped the battle over custody issues.

The remaining few months of the radio personality has been tough for him as his family were not bonded harmoniously after dealing with each other's' fights. It was sadly his death that has ended the dispute between the most important people of his life. It can be recalled how Casey Kasem's kids fought their stepmom, Jean Kasem over visitation rights while their father was ailing.

Father's day may be one of the most important family events, but it happened to be the most painful for Casey Kasem's kids because it is the day that their father passed away. The announcement was made by the star's children through the social media. "Early this Father's Day morning, our dad Casey Kasem passed away surrounded by family and friends... Even though we know he is in a better place and no longer suffering, we are heartbroken." The message reads.

Now that the radio legend is in his resting place, it also ends the dispute that existed between his children and wife. The separate parties actually faced each other in court as they battle over visitation rights and custody while the former DJ is still in the course of his medical treatment. The children no longer fought their stepmom when it comes to the disposal decisions. His children Kerri, 41, Mike, 40, and Julie, 38 were actually at the bedside when he died that morning.

The feud between Casey Kasem's kids and Jean started when the DJ's eldest children accused his wife of blocking a visitation. Kerri won as the conservator of her father after Jean pulled her husband out of the hospital last month without the doctor's advice. With an attempt of claiming her father, Kerri rushed to a private residence outside of Seattle where Jean has kept him.

On that day, the DJ was hurriedly admitted into a hospital as he is in a critical condition after suffering from an infection due to an infected bed sore while in Jean's care. After all the legal disputes that Casey Kasem's kids and wife went through, his eldest daughter released a statement through his lawyer saying that she's just grateful that his dad was surrounded with love in his final days. The DJ has been buried by his wife as he previously requested.
