Mick Case

Malcolm J. (Mick) Case, 104, son of Susan and Paul Case, Carson City, Mich., passed away Monday, April 29, 2024, at Peabody Retirement Community in North Manchester.

Malcolm was born Feb. 6, 1920, and was the second youngest of brothers Alden, Francis and Merle Case. He was the beloved husband of Marie (Dailey) Case for 77 years and was the father of Daryl Case, of Ocala, Fla., and Carolyn (Ken) Davidson, of Leesburg. He was a grandfather to Julie Davidson Harper (Dan), of Syracuse, Jason Davidson, of North Hutchinson Island, Fla., Kelly Case (Jeff) Williams, of Ceresco, Mich., and Laura Case, of Novi, Mich.; and he also had nine great-grandchildren and five great-great-grandchildren.

Following two years of service in the U.S. Navy in the Pacific during World War II, Malcolm went from a purchasing department agent for Firestone into a sales agent position for Equitable Life Assurance and followed that by representing Benefit Trust Life Insurance Co. Malcolm ended his sales career with Grollier Books, serving school systems and public libraries in Indiana. He was a member of the Trenton, Mich., Kiwanis Club, serving a term as president; a member of the Trenton, Mich., Masonic Lodge since 1946; and a member of the Trenton, Mich., and Leesburg Methodist churches.

Retirement in 1985 found Malcolm and Marie enjoying life on Lake Tippecanoe, Leesburg. Mick’s active lifestyle included bowling, freshwater fishing, hunting, card playing, woodworking and golf. However, if the weather brought a little sunshine and a good breeze you could bet he would be found on the water sailing Lake Tippecanoe. Mick was as solid an individual as you will ever find and a great role model and mentor for family and friends. We all will miss this man as a father, family member and friend.

A memorial service will be held at a later date.
