Willie McKusker Obituary

Name: Service for Willie O. "Willie Mac" McKusker Jr.
Start: 2020-08-21T18:45:00.000Z
Location: Houston National Veterans Cemetery

Willie O'Neal McKusker Jr. or "Willie Mac", of Beaumont, died peacefully at his home in Smithville Texas on July 16th, 2020 surrounded by loved ones and music. He was born on January 6th, 1956 in Port Arthur, Texas to Iris and Willie McKusker Sr. and attended school in Buna, Texas. Willie was a devoted father, husband, grandfather, and friend. He was a disabled veteran from the US Navy where he spent time serving his country and traveling the world. Known for his contagious smile and big hugs, he will be missed by many. In his free time, he enjoyed music, motorcycles and cooking big meals for his family and friends. Willie was known for playing the mandolin. Many nights you could find him playing with local musicians around Texas and passing out his famous hugs. His life was sadly too short, but his love, light and smile will ever be forgotten.

As an active member of the motorcycle community, Willie took riding and motorcycle safety very seriously. He was the chairman for COC&I and organized many community events and safety rides. In 2017 Willie moved to Smithville, Texas and married the love of his life, Mesa McKusker, and was the Founding member of TodoMoto motorcycle Club chapter in Austin, Texas. He took much pride in his role as president and mentor to his club family.

He is survived by his wife, Mesa, brother Jeff, his four children, Angela, James, Ryan, and Meagan, and his six grandchildren, Isabella, Brendan, Lucy, Jerdon, Rorie and Spencer.

His service will be held at the Houston National Veterans Cemetery on Friday the 21st at 1:45pm. The event will be live streamed on Facebook starting at 1:45pm for all who would like to attend but can not.

There will also be a final ride leaving Beaumont, Texas on Friday to the cemetery in Houston. Please contact the family if you would like to join.

I never met Mr. McKusker, but, if you're any part of the man he was; beautiful, talented, caring and kind, with a fond kindness of punching people in the arm. He was a great man and raised a wonderful Daughter. May he rest in peace knowing a piece of his legacy has grown into an amazing woman. May you remember him fondly as you ride your motorcycle, with the wind in your hair and bugs in your teeth, having the freedom on the open road as he does now.

he was my longest and most incredible friendship of my life. The best father I could have wanted for my children and I never wanted for anything that he didn't make sure he did everything in his power to make happen. I will never forget the day we met until the day we parted. Thank you Willie for coming into my life and giving me exactly what I wanted for as long as I wanted. You were a good man no one will ever be able to say a bad word about you to me. no one will ever be able to say a bad word because there weren't any and anyone that knew you you know that to be knew you knew that to be true. You will be sorely missed. Until we all see you again one day. Keep the light on Will...

Willie was probably the sweetest and kindest man I ever knew. He was a father figure when I didn't have one and a kind friend when I needed. His daughter is my best friend and he treated me as his own. This is an incredible loss for not just family and friends but this world. If my son turns out half the man he was I'll be an incredibly proud mother. My condolences to his beautiful wife and family, I love all of you
