Marple Jerome Agee was born on Christmas Day in 1942 in Kirksville, Missouri. He departed this life on October 5, 2017, after a valiant fight to regain his health.
His loving parents were Marple and Wanda (Davidson) Agee. Growing up he was nicknamed Butch, and that’s what close relatives and longtime friends still call him. On June 21, 1980, he married Mary Ellen Clasby. He was the proud father of Stephen (Xinia Corella) Agee, Sheri Agee Kulpa, Mathieu (Stephanie Schwane) Agee, and Jordan Agee Fryer, and he was the doting grandfather of Samuel, Daniel, Rachel Agee, Brayden Fryer, and Mathieu Agee. He was preceded in death by his brothers Harry Steven and James Donovan Agee. He leaves behind his Aunt Charlena (the late Earl) Davidson and his Uncle Ed (the late Janet Davidson) Smith, mother-in-law Emily (the late James) Clasby, brother-in-law James (Sharon Holland) Clasby, brother-in-law Darrel (Paula Freihage) Clasby, nephews, nieces, cousins, and many friends.
Jerry loved life and people. He chose a career in sales because he loved talking to people. He never saw a stranger, had a ready smile, a boisterous laugh, and a strong handshake. Puns, tall tales, corny jokes, and politics were the bedrock of his conversation. Within minutes of meeting someone, he would have elicited their life history and shared his own. He could travel almost anywhere and find someone he knew, had worked with, had sold something to, or had met before. There was not a shy bone in his body, and he was game for pranks, costumes, and general silliness.
Jerry’s parents were educators, as are his wife and children. He encouraged and supported them as they continued their educations. He was an avid supporter of Meramec Valley School District and of public education, and he continued to enjoy being a spectator at extracurricular events even after his children had graduated.
He loved sports, enjoyed watching the Cardinals on television and in the stands and was a fan of the national soccer teams. In high school, he played basketball and ran track. He loved to swim and ski. The sports he loved best were those in which his children participated. He taught them how to fish, swim, and ride horses. He watched them or coached them as they wrestled, played baseball, softball, football, and soccer, and participated in dance recitals and competitions. When he coached, he encouraged young athletes to perform at their best, and he was proud to help them develop their skills. He most recently was delighted to watch his youngest grandchildren play t-ball and soccer.
He was a member of Pacific United Methodist Church, the Pacific Eagles, and the Pacific Chamber of Commerce.
Visitation and funeral service were held at Pacific United Methodist Church on Monday, October 9, and following that, a Celebration of Life was held. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Jerry Agee Memorial Scholarship would be appreciated (1763 Deer Run Trl, Pacific, MO 63069).
