(From Mason-Woodard Mortuary)Michael Macy Calef passed away peacefully in his sleep at home in Webb City, Missouri, on the morning of July 20, 2026 at the age of 55 years old. He was born on September 24, 1970 in Oskaloosa, Iowa to Marshall and Ina Jean (Macy) Calef. He led a quiet life and was known to be steadfastly loyal and loving.
He will be deeply missed.
Michael was a husband, father, brother, son, friend, and overall a good man. He cared for and protected those whom he loved fiercely. He was easily loved by all who met him thanks to his sense of humor, thoughtfulness, and goofy nature.
He married his wife Mechell (Montee) Wallace in 2011 after a lifelong friendship and reconnecting decades after high school graduation. They shared a love that was rare and once-in-a-lifetime for over 15 years. It was easy to see their connection by just watching them together; they were two halves of a whole.
He demonstrated a hard working nature as a forklift operator and previously as an EMT/volunteer firefighter. He worked at Jasper Products for 14 years. He considered his work colleagues as an extension of family, much like all of his friends.
He enjoyed traveling with Mechell and friends by motorcycle and will go on one final ride this fall to Mount Magazine in Arkansas.
He was preceded in death by his brothers Patrick Calef and Dennis Skeels and his parents.
He is survived by his wife Mechell, his daughters Brookylnn Calef, Katelynn Calef, Nattaley Bruce, Chandi Wallace, and Camille Wallace-Clark, his brother Marshall Calef Jr, sisters Lucy Ellis, Shirley Blair, Linda Mountain, eight grandchildren and numerous extended family and friends.
A memorial visitation will be held Sunday, July 26, 2026, from 1:00PM-3:00PM at Mason-Woodard Mortuary in Joplin Missouri.
