Joseph "Joe" William Kase

Born on October 1, 1964, Joe was a proud son of Des Plaines, where he built lifelong friendships and countless memories. He spent his career in management, where his leadership, humor, and people skills made a lasting impact on everyone he worked with.

Joe was the life of the party — the kind of person whose laughter filled a room and whose energy brought people together. He was an avid golfer, music lover, and devoted fan of Chicago sports. Whether it was cruising in a cool car, planning his next trip, or sharing stories with friends, Joe approached life with joy and authenticity.

Joe was preceded in death by his father, Robert Kase and survived by his loving wife, Karen (Gniot) Kase, and son, Dylan Kase; his mother, Patricia Alberts (Late Lee Alberts), his sister, Kimberly Kase, his brother, William Kase (Terry); his stepdaughter, Meredith (Wes); and his cherished grandchildren, Warren and Walker.

An Open House Celebration of Life will be held at Joe’s childhood home in Des Plaines on Sunday October 26th from 11:00 am until 4:00 pm to honor and remember the incredible person he was. We encourage concert and Chicago sports attire.
