James Paul Meek

James P Meek, 50, of Perrysburg, passed away unexpectedly Monday, May 11, 2026, in his home.

James was born December 6, 1975, in Midwest City, Oklahoma. Moving to Perrysburg in elementary school James met and then later in life married Heather Hughes on October 30, 2010, and together they shared 15 wonderful years of marriage.

James had a personality that was impossible to forget. He loved riding motorcycles, skateboarding, playing video games, collecting G.I. Joes, watching horror movies, and listening to music - especially punk, rock, and heavy metal. Whether he was sharing his favorite bands, talking movies, or spending time with family, James brought energy, humor, and individuality everywhere he went.

He is survived by his loving wife, Heather; children, Nathan Meek, Sierra Meek (fiancé, Matt Hyatt), and Mya Meek; grandchildren, Bennie Jack and Levi Alan; parents, Jim and Cathy Meek; mother, Nancy Gates, siblings, Ray (Karen) Gates, Desire and Stephanie Meek (fiancé, Quin Hilton); nephews, Christian, Anthony, Donnie, and nieces Shannon, Morgan, Rachel, Mari, Eevee, Savanah; and mother-in-law, Susan Hughes and sister-in-law, Molly (Aaron Schmidt).

He was preceded in death by his grandparents, James and Gayle Meek; Lawrence and Nancy Godbout; and father-in-law, Irvin Hughes.
