John (Jack) Joseph DUGAS

John (Jack) Dugas was the oldest of seven boys from Mexico, Maine. He was born August 24, 1958. Jack passed away Saturday, February 23, 2019 at Barnes Jewish Hospital in St. Louis, MO. He was the son of Melvin and Lorinda Dugas (nee Fulton). Jack worked at Big St. Charles Harley Davidson for nine years in the parts department. He proudly served his country in the United States Navy. Like all the Dugas children, they were known for their wild and crazy antics. Even as an adult Jack was well known for his presence and character, knowledge and humor. He was a family man that anyone knew they could count on him if they needed help. The kind of man that would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it, fed you if you were hungry (I would know because he often paid for my lunch at work). Jack is known for his knowledge and his passion for motorcycles, music and comedy. If you were having a bad day he could make you laugh until you had tears in your eyes. Jack was an avid sports fan and some of his fondest memories were watching football over at his best friend Richard Brooks’ house while Richard’s three young daughters, Katy, Amy and Erica brought them snacks that Richard’s wife Karen had made. Richard and Jack were best friends for twenty five years and shared a lot of great memories. Jack was also very close with his family, talking to his mother a few times a week and going to Kentucky every chance he got to spend time with his mother and his two brothers, Frank and Rick. He would also talk with his other brothers in Maine weekly to keep up with them. He took pride in his family, work and friendships. Jack is preceded in death by his loving father, Melvin Dugas and one brother Danny Dugas. Loving husband of Caroline Dugas (nee Jackson) of thirty six years. Loving son of Lorinda Dugas. Loving father of Danielle (Evan) Mueller. Loving brother of Frank, Bob, Jeff, Matt and Rick Dugas. He would not want you to mourn his loss but celebrate his presence and life as a great man, husband and father! Raise a glass and salute a man that has brought so much to those who had the pleasure to know him. And remember that a legend never dies!!!
