Mac graduated from Sterling Public Schools and furthered his education by obtaining a bachelor's degree in art and business. His commitment to his country was evident through his service in the United States Navy, and he continued his life of service as a dedicated mail carrier, eventually retiring from the United States Postal Service.

A devout Christian, Mac lived his faith through his actions, always extending a helping hand and a smile to those in need. His interests were as diverse as his personality; he was an active member of the American Legion and NALC-458. He found joy in hunting, fishing, and gardening, and he could often be found rummaging through estate sales, adding to his collections. Mac was an avid supporter of OU and Rush Springs sporting events, and he cherished the times he played baseball.

Family was the cornerstone of Mac's life. He is survived by his loving wife, Ruby Smith of the home, his daughters Teri McGregor and husband Chris of Cement, Chancie Davis and husband Jeremy of Marlow, and Ashley Womack and husband Carl of Norman.
