John W Magie went to be with the Lord on April 8^th, 2017. He was the loving husband of Carole E Magie (Manthey) for 57 years. Loving father to Linda (Chester) Johnson, Dale (Terry) Magie, Gary (Elaine) Magie, and David (Kathy) Magie.

He spent most of his life on the farm where he was born, in Liberty Township, Butler County, Ohio. He was currently residing in Maineville, Ohio. He farmed fulltime until 1985, with the exception of a few years to serve his country as an Army Medic, stationed in Germany. He also worked and served on the board of The Peoples Building Loan and Savings Association, now Peoples First Savings Bank. He served his community as a Liberty Township Trustee for 8 years and also worked for The Butler County Environmental Services. He was a 1947 Graduate of Monroe High School and a Graduate of The Ohio State University and member of the ag fraternity, Alpha Gamma Signa. He loved the farm life tremendously, often referring to himself as, “a dumb old farmer”, but those that knew him would most likely refer to him a wise, generous, loving man that cared deeply for his family, and also the community and country in which he lived. The visitation will take place at The West Chester Nazarene Church, 7951 Tylersville Rd, West Chester, Ohio 45069, April 13^th from 5-8 pm. Funeral service will be held at the Church April 14^th, with a viewing period at 9 am until funeral service at 10 am, with internment immediately following at the Rose Hill Cemetery, Mason, Ohio. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to the American Diabetes Association or the charity of your choice.
