In Loving Memory of Marley Case

Marley William Lester Case was a sentient, intelligent, and exceptionally talented man. I had the pleasure of sharing a name, cultural background, and lifetime of memories with him.

He offered himself fully to everyone he met, spending hours getting to know individuals who left the conversation hoping they'd get the chance to meet him again. He left everything he touched better than he found it, treated his peers with respect, and worked hard each day to provide for his family. Marley was selfless, loyal, and kind.

Known for his imposing size, healthy appetite, and ability to operate on little to no sleep, Marley was built different. These qualities didn't define him, and once you got to know him you'd realize there was much more than meets the eye. Marley was a mathematician, business owner, and a father. He was a dual-sport athlete, playing football and running track, the former he continued in college as a varsity letterman. Not to mention, he was a menace at billiards!

Marley was savvy, creative and funny - quick to crack a joke and in the next sentence introduce an idea for a new business pursuit. He memorized song lyrics after a single listen, phone numbers after just a few calls, and the birthday of everyone he met. He had a plethora of skills that caused him to be the "guy to know" and he had a propensity for working with his hands. I will miss him dearly.

This fund is meant to support his son Zion, partner Jemima, and his family during this incredibly difficult time.
