Obituary of Thomas James Case

Thomas James Case (TJ)

TJ was born April 16, 1971 in Tacoma Washington to Mary Marx and Ernie Case. He passed away December 25th, 2019 in Puyallup Washington. He was 48.

TJ grew up in the PNW and as a kid he loved to roller skate, draw pictures, fish, ride dirt bikes and watch his dad work on cars and even help sometimes. These carried onto things he loved as an adult (except skating maybe) He enjoyed old school hotrods especially mopar and he could build a hellava motor. He enjoyed old school hotrods especially mopar. He fished lakes, rivers and the Puget Sound bay. He enjoyed hunting at “elk camp”. His drawing that started at childhood became sketches and artwork for his portfolio. His love for music inspired him to learn guitar and something he treasured was his collection. Video games, haha ~ if you could beat him, he would learn that game so you wouldn’t beat him the next round.

TJ had no siblings; however he did have trusted friends as brothers and forever friends that are brothers. These relationships were golden to him in case he didn’t get a chance to tell you.

TJ is survived by his mom, Mary Macdonald and his dad, Ernie Case, daughters Carmen, Lita and Chazity Case, Grandson Raven Pleasant, Cousin Shelley Corp, Cousin Tommy Phillips, aunts, uncles and more cousins.

Thomas James Case is preceded in death by Grandma Irene and Grandpa Rudolf Marx, Grandma Helen and Grandpa George Hooper, Cousins Randy and Donny Canady, first love Marsha Little and baby Nicole and daughter Krista Case.

A gathering to share the life and memories of TJ will be done at a later date with family and friends thinking a party would be more to his liking as he always had a great story and unforgettable giggle. We will post on TJ’s wall details in spring.

And to this he is not late, he was first to arrive.
