Thomas Patrick McTague
(1945-2024)
Thomas (Tommy) Patrick McTague, 78, of St. Louis, Missouri, passed away peacefully on September 6, 2024. He was born in the Compton Heights neighborhood to Marshall E. and Margaret C. McTague.
Tommy was a humble, loving man who was devoted to his mother and siblings, putting everyone else before himself – “no” was not in his vocabulary. Tommy tackled every challenge with a positive attitude, sense of humor and that nothing couldn’t be overcome. Tommy’s ultimate joy in his life was spending every moment with his two children, Kelley and Jazz, attending as many games and events as he could possibly attend.
He was especially overjoyed to soon become a grandfather. Tommy was a devoted uncle to his nieces and nephews, dedicating time to being present throughout their lives bringing joy and mischief to each interaction.
Tommy was preceded in death by his parents, older brother Marshall E. McTague, Jr. (Mickey) and brother-in-law Alex Handlan. Devoted father to Kelley (Jordan) Knudsen and Jazz Richardson (Brianna Harrop), beloved brother to Marianne Handlan, Kathleen Giorgi (Martin), Michael McTague (Madeline), Margaret McTague (Joseph Slay). Loved uncle, cousin and friend to many.

Am so sorry for the loss of your brother. In October 2015, Tommy was in Rehab at Laclede Grove with my husband Bob. You and your family are in our prayers at this difficult time. May God give you strength in the days to come.

Dear Margaret very sorry to hear about the passing of your brother he always made everyone smile when he came into LeGrand’s Market. He always had a smile on his face and was sincerely interested in how you were doing never really talking much about his own problems. There will always be a smile on my face whenever I think of him. Prayers to you and your family James LeGrand
