John Charles “J.C.” Gaska came into this world on November 25, 1955 in South Bend, Indiana where he lived most of his life.  He was born to the late John L. and Joan R. Gaska.  His beloved step-father and best friend, Albert A.

J.C. is survived by his three sisters, Juliann Unruh of Plymouth, IN, Jerry Gaska-Straub of West Lafayette, IN, and Jill Ballard of Havelock, NC.  He is also survived by many nieces, nephews, and extended family. 

During J.C.’s life, he worked in food service and custodial service at many places.  He appreciated and enjoyed music, and he had a strong ability for electronics.  After graduating from LaSalle High School, he served his country with the United States Marine Corp.
