John Meccage

John Meccage, 58, of Bozeman, Montana passed away June 14, 2010. John was born May 3rd, 1952 in Baker, MT to John and Mary Alice Meccage. He attended Scholes#8217; country school until 8th grade and then graduated from Baker High School in 1970. After attending one year at MSU-Bozeman his travels took him to Seattle, WA where he worked and lived for five years. A move back to the ranch in 1975 brought him back to his roots and the badlands he grew up in. As a restless and roaming spirit, John spread his wings and headed back to the Gallatin Valley for his next round of adventures in 1987. From there, John made a niche for himself in the construction/handyman business. When his health started to decline he was able to work at the East Main Trading Company for his dear friend Jessica Boerger. Always one for a good laugh and known to tease, John was a true people person, and brought smiles and laughter everywhere he went. He was preceded in death by his parents, John and Mary Alice Meccage. Survivors include his oldest brother Dennis Meccage of Paradise, TX; sister Carol Ann Empie of Banghor, ME; sister Donna (Gary) Napton of Baker, MT; brother David (Sonia) Meccage of Baker, MT; sister Nancy Eagon of Newcastle, WY; and sister Sheila Meccage of Oakland, CA; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and treasured friends. Services to celebrate John#8217;s life will be held in Baker at 2 pm, Thursday, June 24, 2010 at Stevenson Funeral Home, and in Bozeman at 2 pm, Saturday, June 26, 2010 at Dahl Funeral Chapel.
