Marty was a member of the United Transportation Union.   Marty loved to make people laugh, never short on jokes, told the best of stories (never knew what was true), and made watching the Cornhuskers a spectacle as he yelled at the TV. He truly was a \"Simple Man\" that required nothing fancy, come as you are, and a guy that stops to help fix a tire or pull you out of a ditch. He may have never finished that Camaro we all knew about but maybe that was never his intention. He was in his element in the garage, Bob Segar blaring, tools galore, a coffee cup and a cigarette.Marty was preceded in death by his parents, his brother Steve Meece and his sister-in-law Brenda Lee Meece.  He is survived by his wife Darlene Meece of Sheridan, WY, children; Sabrina Zowada of Austin, TX, Rick (Megan) Frank of Stuttgart, Germany, Charlene Meece of Sheridan, WY, Samantha Meece of Columbia City, OR, Ashley Meece of Billings, MT, Colten Meece of Sheridan, WY.
