FORT DAVIS

John McKinley Casler, known to many as Mack, passed away on April 2, 2024 after a tough
battle with cancer. Born on October 25, 1950, in El Paso to John and Gladys Casler, Mack enjoyed
his hometown days and graduated in 1969 from Burges High school. He worked for the
upstart Office Coffee firm for ten years. In 1972, he married his high school sweetheart,
Jodie Kuban, on August 6. In the early eighties the couple moved to Holland, Texas
where Mack was a land surveyor as well as the superintendent of city utilities. The late
eighties found Mack and Jodie moving to Houston where both were employed by UT Health
Science Center. Having purchased land in Limpia Crossing in 1987, the couple decided in
1999 to make their home in Fort Davis. Mack was employed by UT McDonald’s Observatory
until 2004 and then worked for Jeff Davis County as maintenance manager until retiring in
2009. Known for his generosity, storytelling, his daily trips to town, his love of grilling, chili
Competitions, his nicknames assigned to many and his willingness to help others throughout the
Davis Mountains, Mack will forever be remembered.
Mack is preceded in death by his parents and older brother, Thom Casler.
He is survived by his wife, Jodie, whom Mack lovingly called “Sport”, his brother Joe and wife Mary
from Houston and many nieces and nephews.
A Celebration of life is planned in the near future.
