Jack McCune

Jack Lee McCune, 55, of Wausau, passed away at his home on Sunday, August 2, 2020.

Jack was born in Marshfield on January 20, 1965. He worked for Newby’s Evergreen Farms for over 20 years, expertly shearing and shaping the Christmas trees for hundreds of families to take home to decorate and place their presents under.

Jack was a good man. He was a good friend, an amazing son and nephew and a caring cousin. Jack loved to grow and nurture things and had a green thumb. He especially enjoyed tending to his desert rose plants and doing his daily care routine for the local hummingbirds. Jack was always there to help his family and friends, whether it was taking care of his best-friend Kathy’s dog Joey, tending to his aunt and uncle’s farm while they were away, or helping his cousins, Bralynn, Dawn, and LeAnn; he was happy to be of assistance. He also enjoyed going fishing with his friend Jim, and “hanging out” with Larry and Brian. Jack’s memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.

Jack is survived by his aunts and uncles, Diann and Charles Newby, Sandra and Robert Kilcoyne, and Karel Judy and Patrick Drapes; his best friend Kathy; as well as many cousins and special friends.

A graveside service will be held at 1:00 pm on Monday, August 10, 2020 at Pine Grove Cemetery, 1501 Grand Ave, Wausau. Family and friends may go to www.helke.com to leave words of remembrance and condolences.
