It is with deep sorrow and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our amazing dad, grandpa, great grandpa, brother, uncle, and friend, Gary Case, who left us on November 21, 2025, surrounded by his family and his great friend, Pete. Gary was born on June 29, 1956, to Wayne and Loretta Case in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Gary’s legacy lives on through his daughters, Jennifer (John) King and Amber (Josh) Butterfield; his cherished grandchildren, Kolton (Hailey), Kodi, and Kache King, Nick and Adam Butterfield; and his precious great granddaughter, Charlotte (Charlie) King. He also leaves behind many siblings, nieces, and nephews who loved him dearly.
Long before he was a dad teaching us how to water ski or saddle a horse, Gary found his passion in the grit and adrenaline of rodeo. He rode rough stock and especially loved saddle bronc riding in the PRCA. It wasn’t just a hobby for him—it was something that lit him up from the inside out. That same spirit carried into our own rodeo days, where he proudly supported us in 4H and High School Rodeo, often acquiring timed-event horses and cheering us on from the sidelines. His pride in his daughters was unmatched.
Gary had a unique bond with each of his girls, son-in-laws and grandkids.Teasing and teaching his grandkids was one of his favorite things to do. He loved a quick trip to Wendover, standing around a campfire with friends and family, or joining a pool tournament with cold beer in hand. He enjoyed simple moments and good company of friends .
He was a craftsman, a journeyman roofer, and the proud owner of Gary Case Roofing. He worked hard, took pride in what he built, and always made room on his crew for family or friends who needed a job. He was a loyal friend and someone people knew they could count on.
Gary was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Jill; his parents; and his old buddy, Ed.
A celebration of life will be held on December 13, 2025 from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at Gary’s residence 14705 S. Rose Canyon Road in Herriman where we all can get together to recreate the good times.
Oh how we will miss Gary 💔Especially celebrating the birthdays of his twin grandchildren (Kolton & Kodi and Nick & Adam), and his own birthday in June! He will be deeply missed by so many, but his legacy lives on through the love he shared with all of us, and the countless memories we have of him. May your cherished memories bring you peace and comfort as he rides with the cowboys in the sky. Ride easy, Gary…We will raise our mugs for you!🍻 ❤️
Deepest condolences to all the friends and family of Gary, he will be missed.

Dear Jenny and Amber,
So sorry to see Gary has passed. I am imagining he had a wonderful reunion with Jill.
Condolences to your whole family.
Much love
So sorry for your loss. Gary was my brother in law for 11 years. We hunted together and I considered him my friend. I was at many of his rodeo events and saw him make many incredible rides.
I’m so sad to hear this. Gary always made me laugh. He will be missed.
I’ve known Gary for many years. I played pool with him at the lazy dog pool tournament at the bowling alley. He was always a fun guy to be around. I’m planning to be there on the 13th my condolence and prayers to the family.
So sorry to hear about your father. Heather and I wish your family nothing but the best. We'll miss your father dearly. He was a real cowboy!
To Gary's family and loving friends, Lynn, Mike and Marlene & Chance Crooks. It just won't be the same without Gary. Please accept our deepest condolences for your loss. Gary was one of a kind.
Dennis and Wendy Jones
I will miss you with all my heart. I love you. We took good care of each other when we both needed someone to do that. Now all my best friends are together. That makes me feel a little better. I’ll see you all again one day. ❤️💋
So sad to hear about Gary he was a great man. Our prayers are with his family at this sad time.
