He transitioned from this earthly life on May 24, 2025. Montague began his education at Hoke County Public School, obtaining his General Education Diploma (GED). His mother believed in education, so she assisted him with enrolling in Fayetteville Technical Community College online classes, where he pursued his goal of obtaining his Associate's degree.

Montague had various skills and talents. He was exceptionally gifted with his hands, and his talents ranged from disassembling vehicles to repairing refrigerators and other appliances. Prior to beginning his career at Goodyear Tire Company, he worked several jobs before founding and operating his own business, Tae's Lawn Care Service. Above all, Montague used his many gifts and talents to help family members, friends, and neighbors throughout his community.
