A. Jackson 'Jack' Stansbury, 81, of Port Arthur, passed away in Christus St. Mary Hospital.
Jack was the son of A.J. and Alice Stansbury and a lifelong resident of Port Arthur.
After graduating from Thomas Jefferson High School, Jack earned a degree in Architecture at Texas A&M University. He served with the U.S. Army in Korea then returned to Port Arthur to practice, earning his architecture certificate in 1957.
For most of his career he was a partner in the firm Moore Stansbury & Vaught and was happiest working with congregations designing churches, though his projects ranged from private homes to school theaters. In 2006 this work was honored by the Southeast Texas Chapter of the American Institute of Architects and the Associated General Contractors of Southeast Texas. He was passionate about the Aggies and the deep friendships that began in college lasted for the remainder of his life. He was an inveterate cartoonist, with Ann's calendar of the year's best a family tradition. He also had a lifelong love of dogs-a feeling more than returned by generations of faithful companions.
Survivors include his wife, Mary Ann; his daughter, Ann Deen, and her husband, Jim Deen; his son, Mark, and his wife, Gabi Behrens; and his sister, Jean Witt.
In the later part of his life his care-givers grew to be part of our family: Sabina Perez, Esmy Rocha, and Sandra Olaye.
A memorial service will be held at the United Methodist Temple followed by burial in Greenlawn Memorial Park, Groves.
