Bobby Joe

Woody, Jr.

Bobby Joe Woody, Jr., lovingly known as "Runt," passed away on September 14, 2025, in Wichita Falls, Texas, at the age of 60.

Runt was born on December 10, 1964, in Graham, Texas, to the late Beverly Woody McConnell and Bob Woody Sr. He grew up with a strong work ethic and a love for working with his hands—traits he carried with him throughout his life.

Runt spent many years working on oil rigs alongside his "little" big brother, Clinton Jackson. He was also a skilled car mechanic, a trade he pursued passionately. In the late 1990s or early 2000s, he moved to Wichita Falls, Texas, where he continued working as a mechanic and built a life in the community.

He is preceded in death by his beloved daughter, Tasha Woody; his mother, Beverly McConnell; his grandmother, Bessie McConnell; and several other cherished family members.

Runt is survived by his brother, Clinton Jackson of Wichita Falls Texas; his nieces, Meagan Ramos and her husband Cesar Ramos of Chico; Texas, and Casey Jackson and her partner Shon Littrell of Weatherford, Texas; his nephew, Clinton Jackson II; and six great-nieces and nephews who brought him great joy.

He will be remembered for his uncanny ability to sharpen a knife so well you could shave with it—or slice a piece of paper like it was butter. He had hands big enough to cover your kneecaps, and if he grabbed you, you'd squirm away laughing because it tickled—and maybe hurt just a little. He was the goofy uncle who made everyone laugh, but he also didn't take any mess from anyone. Runt was one of a kind, and his memory will live on in the stories, laughter, and love of those who knew him best.

A private family service will be held in his honor.
