John F. Case Jr.

(Veteran) John F. Case Jr., age 53, of Park Falls died unexpectedly on Friday, December 27, 2019 at his home. He was born on April 25, 1966 in Park Falls, the son of John Sr. and Marilyn (Schock) Case. He spent the early years of his life in Glidden and Butternut surrounded by his brothers and sisters – camping, fishing, and hunting. After his schooling he proudly entered the Army National Guard and served for ten years. John was the proud father of four children, who he had with his former wife, Liz Case. On July 14, 2014 he married Joanna Marie Campbell-Korzinek in a backyard ceremony. He worked as a cook at Liebelt’s Supper Club before working for Stueber’s Beverage and Marquip-BW Paper Systems where he was currently employed. John was a dedicated and hard-working man, a loving father, husband, grandfather, and son. One of John’s favorite sayings was: “You’re required to grow old but growing up is optional”. His family and making people laugh was his number one priority. John was always known for his silly antics and playful demeanor. When his family was around, you would always find him playing and joking with everyone– he truly was a kid at heart. He had a deep love of sports, especially the Minnesota Vikings, the Milwaukee Brewers and Bucks. He was full of life and it wouldn’t be surprising if you saw him singing and dancing to classic country music, especially his favorite, Johnny Cash. His unconditional love and support will truly be missed.
