Shandie R. (Case) Case
Burial Details
Obituaries
Grand Junction Daily Sentinel page 7 B Obituary - November 16, 2016
Our beautiful Shandie Case,
25, as well as her unborn baby
boy, whom we believe she
was toying with naming
Killean but that we all had
nicknamed “Turtle Squirt”
due to the fact that Shandie’s
nickname all through growing
up was “Turtle”, were both
taken from us on November 6,
2016 by a senseless and tragic
turn of events that should
have never happened.
Shandie was born September 18, 1991, in Grand Junction to
W. Boone Case and DeDee J. Case.
To list her achievements in life would take nothing short of a
novel, as she found no limit to successfully accomplish as much
as possible at all times and in everything she did: from being
Freshman Class President at GJHS, to being a constant honor
roll student who absolutely loved school, to being a lead member
of the GJHS Teen Court Team, and which lead to being a
member of the Grand Junction’s City Youth Council. The fourway
stop light at 24 & G Road is present due to her unwavering
demand for people’s safety at that intersection, and was something
she was very proud of.
She attended Denver University, and then Denver Metro for a
time. She worked for UPS in Grand Junction, then at their DIA
hub, and then returned to Grand Junction to become their
Preload Supervisor, while also working for CaseCo, L.L.C., a
trucking company started and owned by her parents.
She moved on to excelling at both becoming a licensed Realtor
in Grand Junction under Toni Heiden and Heiden Homes Realty
for selling and property management, as well as, for her own investment
properties.
Moving back to Denver, she then owned and operated her own
Farmers Insurance agency; it was also something she was very
proud of.
She and her fiancé moved back to our area where they were
still investing and managing their own investment properties,
while starting a new freighting company, and anxiously awaiting
the arrival of their baby whom hadn’t been confirmed to be a
boy, but we all just knew in our hearts he was….and he was!
Beyond all of her achievements, she had the biggest heart, and
a joy coupled with laughter that was so contagious, everyone
couldn’t help but love to be in her presence. Shandie knew no
stranger, as her joy of life carried her from day to day. From
family, to friends, to business associates, to just mere
acquaintances, she touched us all, and will forever hold a special
place in each of our hearts.
She was preceded in death by grandfather, Joe F. Tomkins; but
is survived by both her parents; beautiful sister, Shannia Case;
grandparents, Kathy Tomkins, and Bill and Gala Case; greatgrandmothers,
Lola Swenson and Lola Case; uncles and aunts,
Joe F. Tomkins II, AK Keegan Weaver, Katoka Case (Becky),
and Jeremy Case (Amy); and numerous cousins.
A celebration of Shandie’s life will be held at Callahan Edfast
Mortuary, November 18, 2016 at Noon, with graveside dedication
services to follow at Orchard Mesa Cemetery.
A GoFundMe account has been established as well as a
Shandie Case Memorial Fund at any US Bank.
