Jack Honeycutt, 81, passed away Wednesday, June 20, 2012, surrounded by his loving family. His battle with cancer was one of bravery, courage and dignity. Memorial service: 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, June 27, at Christ Chapel Bible Church, 3701 Birchman Ave., Fort Worth, with Dr. Doug Cecil officiating. Private family interment: Dallas-Fort Worth National Cemetery.
Jack was born Nov. 4, 1930, in Clinton, N.C., to Wade and Lillian Honeycutt. He served in the U.S. Air Force during the Korean War and received an honorable discharge. At a base dance one night, he glanced across the room at Peggy Jean Connally, to whom he would be married for the next 57 years. Jack was transferred to Fort Worth in 1961 by IBM and was an important part of that great company for over 25 years. During that time, Jack and Peggy gave birth to three sons, Jack Randle, Timothy Alan and Rodney Lynn. These children blessed him with seven grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Jack wore many hats throughout his life. He enjoyed sports, was a great bowler and could shoot a game of pool with the best of them. He was a coach, a mentor, a teacher, a friend an unsurpassed jokester and had a charm that served him well, right until the very end. A man of great compassion, he helped care for the elderly and there was no sacrifice he would not make for his family. As Peggy would eventually put it, "The world was a better place when Jack came into it." He was preceded in death by his parents and infant daughter, Diane.
Survivors: Wife, Peggy Honeycutt; sons, Randy Honeycutt and wife, Brenda, Tim Honeycutt and wife, Pam, and Rodney Honeycutt and wife, Cindy; brother, Tony Honeycutt; sister, Marlene Autry; grandchildren, Chad, Mallory, Wade, Haley, Jake, Hannah and Nathan; great-grandchild, Benjamin; and many other loving family members on both the Honeycutt and Connally sides.
