Melvin Roy Mease

Born on August 16, 1943 in West Decatur, he was the son of Roy and Marie (Yarger) Mease.

On August 22, 1964 he wed Carol E. Brown in Clearfield.

Melvin graduated from Philipsburg-Osceola Area High School in 1961.

He was the owner and operator of Mease Mobil Service Station in downtown Clearfield for approx. 30 years. He also was employed as a heavy equipment operator for International Union of Operating Engineers.

Melvin was Methodist by faith. He was a lifelong member of the Clearfield Elks # 540. He was an avid racing fan and car owner/driver for many years starting with Drag racing and eventually dirt circle track as the owner of the Mobil 1 semi-late model that his son eventually took over as he became older. He still never missed a Saturday night at the track sitting in his chair with a pack of Marlboros and a diet Pepsi. He also loved hunting, fishing, and was a league bowler and enjoyed couple bowling with his wife, Carol.

Melvin is survived by his wife, two children, Jeff Mease and Jennifer Mease, both of Clearfield, and many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents, his son Ryan “Bubby” Mease who died on August 13, 1999, and two sisters and brothers-in-law, Doris (John) Scott and Emily (George) Shaw.

In honor of Melvin’s wishes, there will be no public visitation. A celebration of life will be held at the convenience of the family.
