John "Jack" G. Rager

March 3, 1939 — January 14, 2024

John "Jack" G. Rager, 84, of Massillon, passed away peacefully on Sunday, January 14, 2024 at his home surrounded by his family. John was born on March 3, 1939 in Massillon, the son of the late John and Virginia (Parr) Rager.

Jack worked at Ecko Housewares until it's closing. He also worked part time as a janitor for First United Methodist Church. He enjoyed golfing, bowling, fishing and was an avid Massillon Tiger fan. Most of all he loved spending time with his family and friends. Jack was always a kid at heart.

Jack is survived by his wife, Patricia Rager of 50 years of marriage; daughter, Vicki (David) Baus; stepdaughters, Joyce (Mike) Karchner, Lorrie (Mike) Isla and Connie Turner; granddaughters, Leigh-anne Carter, Miranda (Eric) Woods, Rachel (Mitchell) Robinson, Megan King and Taylor Isla; great grandchildren, Jaiden Woods, Gabriella (Gabi) Carter, Leah Woods, and Addison and Alivia Robinson.
