Jack Lee McFetridge

It is with real sadness that we announce the passing of Jack Lee “Jack Mack”
McFetridge on October 9, 2024, at the age of 85. Jack was born June 3, 1939, in
Evansville, Indiana to Dallas and Marjorie (Cassidy) McFetridge.
Jack grew up in a military family so as a child he lived in many states before relocating
to Great Falls in 1966. He joined the United States Air Force in 1958 and was
honorably discharged in 1962. He worked as a body and fender repairman, was a civil
service employee and a USPS mail carrier.
A man of many interests, Jack enjoyed camping, softball, bowling, swimming, was a
certified scuba open diver and was skydiving certified. He was an avid pool player, and
his love of this sport led to his pool business, Jacks Billiards and Repair. He enjoyed his
customers and competitors when he played.
He met the love of his life, Juanita, in Great Falls, and married in Coeur d’Alene, ID on
June 3, 1977, enjoying 47 years together, until his passing. Their children and
stepchildren brought them great joy. When his grandchildren came along, he was their
biggest fan, following them in all their sports.
Over the years, Jack became quite the joker and loved to tease others to make them
laugh. We are all blessed with so many wonderful and fun memories with him.
Survivors include his loving wife, Juanita, Great Falls, MT; son, Chad Riverton, UT;
stepson, Ray Lafreniere, Great Falls, MT; stepdaughters, Denise (Robert) Klesh, Diana
Lafreniere and Jean (David) Fayden,, all of Great Falls, MT; sisters, Bonnie (Dan) Blix,
Delray Beach, FL and Peggy (Sam) Ullman, Pompano Beach, FL; grandchildren, June
Poland, Jenifer Betterley,, Monica Betterley, Sarah Pate, Joseph (Billie) Fayden,
Michael Lafreniere, Tyler (Britny) Fayden, Tiana Greenwood, Fallon (Kam) Fayden; 17
great-grandchildren and 9 great-great-grandchildren.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you consider other options. Because of his blood
type, Jack donated often during his time at USPS. He was also a big supporter of local
shelters and fund raisers.
His final resting place will be at Highland Cemetery and per Jack’s wishes there will be
no services.
