Stephen James Adams Case Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Stephen James Adams Case, 60, passed away on December 23, 2020 at his home in Provo, Utah of complications from Covid-19. Steve was born August 20, 1960 in Provo, Utah. His father was James Adams and his mother is Rachel Case. Early in Steve’s life he became part of the infamous Roger and Rachel Case family, where he became known as the wild child of the family. Steve was one of 11 Case children raised in that household. Steve was a very strong willed and sometimes hard headed young man. He was always looking beyond the boundaries of his home and home town. Steve was also quite the mischievous young man as well and was always tinkering with anything mechanical. He loved to take things apart, not to see how they worked, but what was in them. Later in his life, this would prove to be his passion. Steve loved to go into the mountains and enjoyed our weekend trips to Hobble Creek Canyon. He also was able to take his grandson Wyatt fishing and told jokes the entire time. He loved the outdoors but was not quite the outdoor type. Steve attended school in Provo, Utah. He attended Franklin Elementary, Dixon Junior High, and Provo High School. School was boring for Steve and he didn’t really care to attend. Steve always had a desire to go beyond his home town, so he joined the Navy. Joining the Navy was a highlight of his life, and he was very proud of his service. Steve was finally able to get out of town and see the world. He also became quite the dancer while traveling the world. Steve had an artistic side that rarely got seen. He would make realistic sculptures out of metal and wire. He enjoyed doing macrame, ceramics, and anything that he could do with his hands. He loved all types of music and was quite the comedian. It didn’t matter what was going on his life, he always had a joke or tried to make you smile. He could imitate Robin Williams to the T. After returning from his service in the Navy, Steve worked at odds and ends jobs as a mechanic and other things. Steve excelled at mechanics and finally landed at Harmons in Provo where he became a respected mechanic. During this time, Steve had a 1967 Camaro that he completely rebuilt. He was extremely proud of that car. There was not a bolt on it that he did not touch. He later worked at SDS Auto in Provo and was known as a gifted mechanic. Steve then met Corrine and Jaymz, and nothing else mattered. Soon Jennifer was born and Steve found new direction in his life. He was always so proud of Jaymz and Jennifer. When he spoke of them he lit up. Unfortunately, Steve moved through life much like he left life, alone and happy to be that way. His nomadic ways, wild side, and stubborn nature could never truly be tamed and finally it caught up to him. We will miss his quick wit, curly locks, and infectious laugh. Steve was preceded in death by numerous other family members and we are sure that they have not stopped laughing since he got there. Steve is survived by his mother Rachel Case; brothers and sisters; Mike (Donna) Case, Patty (Scott) Fazzio, Clay (Tammy) Case, Rodger (Stacy) Case, Richard (Joni) Case, George Case, Charlie (Kristy) Case, Bobby (Kira) Case, Alicia (Chantelle) Case, Ronnie Case; daughter Jennifer (TJ) Patrick Jaymz Ure, 6 grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews. Instead of a funeral, the family has decided to have him cremated and his ashes given to his daughter Jennifer so that he can be where he is surrounded by love and never alone again. Instead of a funeral, there will be a brief open house for those who wish to express condolences from 1-3:00 p.m., Saturday, January 2, 2020 at 906 South 750 West, Springville, Utah. Masks are encouraged. Condolences may also be expressed to the family at www.bergmortuary.com.
