With great sadness, we say goodbye to our dad, Michael Stephen Case, at the age of 75. His passing was unexpected but peaceful, surrounded by family.
Michael was born 7 minutes ahead of his twin, Vincent, in Klamath Falls, Oregon. He is predeceased by father Bill, mother Rita and brother Vince, whom he missed dearly.
Family was everything to dad. Mourning his loss are his children, Vince (Jennifer), Melissa (Kelly) and Shelley (Pierre); his siblings Theresa (John), Jack (Mary), and Glo (Gene); his grandchildren Tiernan, Sarah and Keaton; his nieces and nephews Stephen, David, John, Jen, Sarah, Mikey, Chris, Genie, Rita, Bruce and Brian; and his sweetie, Lynn. Being a descendant of the Clarkson clan, he has countless aunts, uncles and cousins he adored.
To know him was to laugh. Michael was loved by everyone he met and always had a story to share. If you have tales of Michael, or any of his shenanigans, please come share them with us at his Celebration of Life at 2pm, Saturday, March 25, 2023 in the Sequoia Centre at McCall Gardens, 4665 Falaise Dr, Victoria, BC.
In lieu of flowers, please donate in his memory, to the Victoria Hospitals Foundation at https://www.victoriahf.ca/donate/ The funds go toward vital lifesaving equipment for the Cardiac Care Unit and the ICU, where they expertly and compassionately cared for dad, and his family, in his last days.
Condolences may be offered to the family below.

Marilyn M. Clarkson My heart goes out to all the family at the sudden loss of Michael Case. He will be dearly missed; however, Mike is with his twin brother, Vince, now and the two of them are having a wonderful reunion with all the old Uncles, Aunts and many friends that have been waiting for him.
Mike’s laugh was always contagious and I treasure the times he called or dropped-by to see Uncle John, especially during his time in Sooke. He always found a way to see the bright side of life and bring cheer with his visit.
Condolences, blessings and love,
Aunt Marilyn

Cathy Lavoie It is hard to believe that he’s gone. He was a part of some of my happiest childhood memories — my cooler, older cousin — and the life of every party. I feel blessed to have had him in my life. To all of the family: sending you love and deepest sympathy, and sharing your grief.
