Mack Arthur Saeger

Mack Arthur Saeger, 72 of Raton, New Mexico, passed away on May 10, 2025. Born in Rochester, New York, to Miriam and Chester Saeger, Mack lived a life full of compassion, curiosity, and kindness.

After graduating from nursing school, Mack followed his heart westward and made his home in New Mexico. As a dedicated nurse, he spent his life caring for others-not just in his profession, but in every interaction. His warmth, humor, and thoughtfulness made him beloved by patients, friends, and family alike.

Mack had a deep love for travel-whether exploring ancient ruins, reconnecting with loved ones, or setting out on spontaneous joy rides with no destination. He found joy in the small things: souvenir shops, handmade holiday cards crafted from magazine clippings, the perfect quirky gift that would brighten someone's day.

An artist at heart, he also loved to play his guitar, harmonica, and the flute, which he was just learning to do. He loved making jewelry and cherished the culture and landscapes of the Southwest. He was an avid reader and a lifelong learner, always expanding his knowledge and researching ways to help himself and others heal. He loved to laugh, tell jokes, and had a knack for guessing people's names, birthdays, or favorite colors- little gestures that made others feel truly seen.

Mack is survived by his Partner of the home, Donna Spargo; his sister Cinda and her husband Ray D’Amante; his brother Mark and sister-in-law Laura Saeger; nephews Mike (with partner Mindun) and Rick; and his niece Dannalea and her husband Jason.

He is preceded in death by his parents Miriam and Chester Saeger, his nephew Tony D'Amante, stepson Michael Tapia, and his partner's father Jim Spargo.

Mack leaves behind a legacy of joy, love, and care that will be felt by all who knew him. He will be deeply missed.

Arrangements for his celebration of life are being made by Alderette-Pomeroy Funeral Home.
