Ricky "Rick" S. McClure - age 67 of Jamesport, MO passed away Sunday, August 3, 2025, at his home in Jamesport. Rick was born on December 13, 1957, the son of Joe Frank and Shirley Maxine (Bradley) McClure in Trenton, MO. He grew up in several places in Northwest Missouri and graduated from Meridian High School in Sanford, Michigan. Rick was a skilled tradesman using his intellect and craftsmanship to build or repair anything he put his mind to. Rick worked for Trenton Foods for almost 30 years as a Machinist. He had a great sense of humor and liked to joke around. Rick used his skills in many of his hobbies including engines, musical instruments and gunsmithing. Rick had even hand crafted a banjo as well as an acoustic guitar. He had strong principals and once he set his mind on something he never wavered. Rick will be dearly missed by his family and friends.
