George Edward Case, III (Ned) passed away on April 15, 2018, with a ring of family around his

bed. Born in Spartanburg, SC to Jean Hollerith and George E. Case, Jr. (Pat), Ned was the eldest

of three boys. He married the love of his life, Elizabeth Fuller (Betty) in 1981, and they built

their family and life in Atlanta.

He was a graduate of the Spartanburg Day School (Sports Hall of Fame), the University of

Virginia (with honors, Phi Delta Theta), and the University of Chicago's Booth School of

Business (MBA). A hard-working and skilled businessman, Ned built his career with finance

leadership positions at Delta Color, Inc., and Bank of America and predecessor companies. He

spent eighteen years as the Managing Director and Chief Operating Officer of GMT Capital

Corp.

Devoted to the educational opportunities of young people, Ned was an Atlanta board member of

the KIPP Schools and the Center for Christian Study at the University of Virginia. He was a

founding board member and Treasurer of the Southeastern Hedge Fund Association. A member

of First Presbyterian of Church of Atlanta for most of three decades, he served as an Elder and

taught Sunday School. For more than twenty years, he aimed at nothing and seldom missed with

men of The Breakfast Club.

In addition to Betty, his beloved wife of thirty-seven years, Ned is survived by their children

George Case, Daniel and Catherine Case and grandchildren Zachary and Sandy. He is preceded

in death by his father Pat and is survived by his mother Jean Case and his siblings Randy and

Shelley Case, and Rob and Bobbi Case.

The family will celebrate Ned's life in a memorial service at noon on Friday, April 20th at First

Presbyterian Church of Atlanta, officiated by the Reverend Dr. Tony Sundermeier, with a

reception following in Fifield Hall.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorial gifts be made to the KIPP Metro Atlanta

Schools: https://www.kippmetroatlanta.org/donate-now/, the Center for Christian Study at the

University of Virginia: https://www.studycenter.net/support-study-center, and the First

Hi, we are very sad to hear the news of Ned's passing. He was a true gentleman and was well respected as a consummate professional. More than anything he was a genuinely nice person who was a pleasure to work with.

He will be missed and our deepest sympathy and prayers go out to his wife and family.

i have been mourning and celebrating Ned since hearing of his passing last week. I had the immense privilege of working with him while at my last employer in NY. He was truly one of the most kind, authentic and godly men I've ever worked with. I pray you, his family, will feel enfolded by God's love and emboldened to live out your faith as he did.

I didn't get to know Daniel well as a Hyde student but remember fondly the parent retreat I spent with Betty and Ned on Jekyll Island. Ned was a gracious gentleman devoted to family and principles. He had a warm smile and huge heart. Much love and deepest condolences to his family and friends. Claire Grant

Betty, I'm terribly sorry about your loss. I think I met Ned only once, but from all I've heard about him and from the simple fact that he won your love, I have no doubt that he was a man of extraordinary decency, compassion, integrity, faith, and goodwill. Betty, your friendship has enriched the lives and aided the struggles of numerous people over the decades, certainly including me and our once tight squad of derelicts at Westminster. Know that all of us are thinking of you, and that we would treasure the chance to do anything at all to lighten your burden. You have our love and our prayers that your sense of loss has begun its too slow march toward a celebration of his wonderful life.

I am heartbroken to hear this news. Although I haven't seen Ned in ages I remember well his kindness when we worked together at Booz Allen and Hamilton. He had a dear, dear heart. Sending all of my love to Betty and the family.

I had the pleasure of working with Ned at GMT Capital. He was a wonderful person and I'm saddened to hear of his passing. I have such fond memories of Ned - he always made me laugh at work but especially during his speeches at our company gatherings. He was one of a kind and will truly be missed. My deepest condolences go out to Betty and Ned's family.
