James Meek Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Nov. 17, 2023.
Born on February 21, 1965, Jamie, as he was known to family and friends, grew up in a Maryvale suburb. From the beginning, his natural athletic ability was apparent. He excelled in all sports but was most notable in football, quarterbacking the Trevor G.Browne Bruins to a state championship in 1982 and going on to play for Phoenix College. Jamie found his niche in kitchen and bathroom remodeling and love with his long-time partner, Gay Babcock. His beloved fur baby, Gizmo, was never far from his side. Jamie was fun to be around and shared his kind heart and easy-going demeanor with many.

He is survived by his mother, Melissa Meek; siblings and spouses Don Meek (Melissa), Michael Meek (Teresa), and Lori Brannigan (John); and their families. His father, Don Meek, passed before him in 2013. A celebration of life will be held on November 19" at a private residence in Sun City. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Salvation Army of Arizona.

Jamie was always gentle and kind person with a big smile and a beautiful soul! Although I would have loved to have gotten to know him better as an adult, I will always remember him kindly and with a smile. I know he will be missed by his family and friends. Sending healing, love and my heartfelt condolences to his family
