Jasper Case

Jasper Case, Sr., age 78, of Wolcottville, passed away October 9, 2025, at home. Jasper was born in Hindman, Kentucky, on June 21, 1947, to the late Clinton Lewis Case and Nellie Mae (Moore) Sturdivant. He was employed for many years with Godfrey Marine in Elkhart, Indiana. He first married Lola Faye Handshoe of Avilla and later married Wanda June Mosley in June of 1999 in LaGrange. Jasper never met a stranger and was loved by everyone who knew him. Known for his iconic Pink Panther #3, he devoted over 50 years to his racing career and had an undeniable passion for the fast lane. Yet, beyond the track, his greatest joy was his family.

In his later years, he found peace in his faith and proudly gave his life to Christ.
