What a truly gentle man. Always had a smile on his face, especially when he spoke of Debbie or Kristen. He has touched so many lives, but God must have needed a special angel to call him home.

My son Hunter and I were very sad to hear of Mr. Case passing. He was a breath of sunshine with his infectious smile. He always made a point to speak when he saw you at Tates Creek Elementary. He always put a smile on Hunter's face when he would see him at school. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the whole family.

Mr. Case was a wonderful teacher for children with special needs in Fayette County. He was patient, kind, and always had a sense of humor. He made a positive difference each and every day. He made the world a better place to live. Steve loved his family and was so very proud of his grandchildren. He will continue to sing and tell jokes and will surely entertain and make the angels and saints laugh in heaven. My sincerest condolences to his family.
