Jack A. Scaccio

Jack A. Scaccio, age 35, of Rochester, Minnesota passed away early Thursday morning (July 25th, 2013) in a motorcycle accident.  He was the beloved husband of Melissa (Korger) Scaccio originally of Augusta, Wisconsin.
Jack was born on June 26th, 1978 to Joseph Scaccio (Vero Beach, FL) and the late Wanda Burdick in Chicago, Illinois.  The family moved to La Crosse, Wisconsin in 1982.  Jack resided there until 2006 when he moved with his wife and children to Rochester, Minnesota.
Jack loved to landscape, garden, cook, and do home improvement projects (rarely finished).  He was a huge fan of the Chicago Bears to the chagrin of his friends.  He loved his children, family, and friends.  He could be found at the grill in the backyard almost every weekend or throwing  bean bags.  He loved playing Buck Hunter along with playing poker, throwing darts, and playing pool in his garage.  Above all, he loved to ride his motorcycle.  He passed doing the thing he loved most.
Jack was proceeded in death by his mother, Wanda, who lost a long battle with cancer in 2010.  Jack is survived by his wife Melissa (32), his 6 children, Antonio (17), Riley (13), Owen (11), Victoria (8), Olivia (7) and Lalie (5).  Also his brothers Joseph (Jenny), Frank Meyer, and sisters Shannon (Arley Foster) and Starr (Norman Vuchetich).
The visitation for Jack will be held at Macken Funeral Home River Park Chapel, Monday, July 29th from 5-8pm and one hour prior to the service on Tuesday at the church.  There will also be a rosary service at the River Park Chapel Macken Funeral Home on Tuesday at 7:30pm.  The Funeral Service will be at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic church at 10:30am Tuesday, July 30th with the Rev. Mark C. McNea officiating.  Burial will be at Calvary Cemetery and lunch in the church basement will  follow the committal service.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donation would be appreciated.  All donations will be put in a fund to benefit the 6 children left behind.  Send any condolences or donations to 1856 S. Village Dr SE
Rochester, MN 55905 in c/o the family.

Condolences

The family of Jack A. Scaccio has received the following condolences.

To Jack's family and friends, I can't fathom what you are experiencing, as my heart is breaking not only for the loss of a once good friend, but also for all of you.  I've found comfort over the last week by remembering fond memories I have of Jack, and I pray in time you will also. 

My sincerest condolences. 

 

Betsy Olson

We just heard about the accident and just let the kids know right away.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Melissa and kids. 

Jack- Even though we haven't spoken in years, I won't forget all the fun times we had as kids. You were such a memorable person and always could make people laugh when they thought it wasn't possible. You will be missed. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

The memories I will cherish can never be replaced.  We were a group of troublemaking kids, but those times never lacked in fun.  Jack will be missed by many and loved by all.  His infectious smile, wonderful personality, caring heart, and undeniable love he showed for his family and friends will not be forgotten.  My heart goes out to everyone who had the pleasure of knowing this wonderful person.

It just won't be the same coming home without seeing you and hearing all of the funny stories you used to share. You will be deeply missed - neighbor & friend... Rest in peace Jack!

 Praying for you Melissa and kids - Antonio, Riley, Owen, Victoria, Olivia, and Lalie

Avery is a classmate to Olivia and fellow girl scout.  We are thinking of your family and praying for you.  We hope that all of the great memories you have with your dad (husband) will bring peace to your life.

God Bless,

Aaron and Amanda Davis- Carter, Avery, Lilly, Sophie

Jack, I'm so sorry I just realized a few hours ago after talking to, Brandon Stearns, that you were the guy in the paper. Your younger than me and you have all of those wonderful children to care for. 

I'm really spechless right now to me your were just a friend, a confidant. To your family you were a Son, Brother, Husband, & most importantly you are a DAD. While noone can so or do anything to ease your pain right now, may it help you to know that we love you  and we care. Your in our thoughts and prayers right now.

" Death leaves a heartache noone can heal, Love leaves a memory noone can steal."

To Melissa, children & extended family, I am so sorry.  This was not news I was ever expecting to hear.  I hope you have lots of support and are surviving each day. I have been thinking about you and the family a lot, and keeping you all in my prayers.  He loved you all so much and that is what you need to remember. Big hug, my dear friend.

So sorry for your loss.  Jack was a good friend and this came as such a shock.  I will miss "ice camp" with him and Adam and Andy Herrmann.  We had some good times and laughs over the years.  Jack had a heart of gold and I know he loved his family dearly.  Our hearts go out to you Melissa and your children.  Rest in Peace Jack.  Lova ya man.  David Korish

I didn't know Jack as well as I could have - but what I did learn of him is that he was a kind hearted, gentleman that would stand up for his friends no matter what - he sure was a hell of a guy and will be deeply missed.  Many a good times were had Jack - thank you for being so compassionate and for being just an outstanding person.  RIP.

My deepest sympathy to all of Jack's family.  I never knew Jack as an adult, but as one of his teachers, I remember a fun loving, kind, and spirited (okay, sometimes wild!) young man.  Peace and comfort to all of you.  Rest in peace, Jack.

I am experiencing an emptiness like never before at the loss of my longtime friend and "brother", Jack.  I cannot imagine the sense of loss Melissa and the children are feeling at this heart wrenching time.  I take some comfort in knowing that Jack had found something he truly enjoyed in riding free on his Harley with his band of brothers.  Always know, Mel, that Jack loved you and the kids with his whole heart.  You brought out the best in Jack and stood by him with undying love and devotion no matter how hard that may have been at times.  You are the most selfless, loving, and giving person I have ever met, Mel.  Thank you for coming into Jack's life and loving him as you did.  You saw past the rough exterior and layers of pain to the warm and loving man inside.  I will always be here for you and the kids and love you all very much.  I will miss you every day, Jack, and I will never forget you.  I am grateful for the time we had together and a part of my heart has died with you.  I love you, Anthony, always and forever.  Ride on and be free.    

R.I.P Jack U will be sadly missed man did we have some good times.

Dearest Melissa and kids, You probably dont remember me but thats ok. Jack was one of the nicest people I had the opportunity to ever meet. He was a kind spirit who had a million dollar smile!

So sad to hear about this tragedy. Everyone who knew Jack knew he was a great man.  I hope that his family can some day find peace. RIP friend. 

R.I.P bud. I haven't really didn't get to know you until i started to work for your family. I had some good times and it was awesome to hear how you would talk about stories about your kids. They way you talked about them you could tell you were very proud and a good dad. My condolences go out to you family and friends i am glad i got to know you. Thanks for everything.

Dear Jack,
    I am so sorry we didn't get any time as adults...there was so much I wanted to say to you. I will never forget you, you have forever left your memories upon me...
    When we were kids, you gave me a place in your life, and the result of your kindness and friendship is my promise to tell your stories so that you can always live...  You may be gone, but you will never be forgotten. Thank you for being my friend, and thank you for allowing me the chance to see life through your eyes. I don' think I have ever known another man that was more unique than you...you will always hold a close and everlasting place in my heart. When I did not know who I was, you helped me see it through... I wish I would have told you when we were young; you were always the man...you were a champion and no one knew that more than me...
     Take care Jack, I know you are somewhere wonderful because that is who you are. Those you left behind will be lost without you I am sure...but we will meet again my man. I will tell my children about you always so they can understand that it only takes one man...and he can make all the difference in people's lives... That man was you Jack.
     Farewell ole' friend - I will miss you...
    
     With love,
     Bobby Lorenz

I had the honor of knowing Jack only 2 short years, but he became very close to my fiance Nate and a special person to my son Landon.  Jack was so great with kids and I was really enjoying getting to know him and his family better.  I feel like I have a new family of friends, and we will be there for Mel and his kiddos in any way we can.  We will miss Jack a lot.  I was telling Nate he seemed to be the center of everything and it is heartbreaking to think of him not being there.  RIP Jack!
