Jack Wells

Mcneil

Jack W. McNeil, of Wichita Falls, TX, passed away on Thursday May 6, 2021 after a battle with cancer.

He was born on September 1, 1944 to Homer E. and Mary Dell (McEachern) McNeil in Atoka, OK. The family moved to Pampa, TX in 1949. He graduated from Pampa High School in 1963 and attended Frank Phillip College in Borger, TX.

Jack was a hard worker his whole life. At 15, he began working for his father's wholesale produce company. He worked for various companies in sales and sales management throughout his career until he retired at the age of 71.

On August 19, 1994 he married Kay Hunter McKoon in a ceremony held in Oklahoma City. Jobs moved the couple to Texas in 2003 and finally for retirement to Wichita Falls in 2017. He was a devoted husband, and the two enjoyed traveling together.

Though Jack was born in Oklahoma, he was a Texan through and through, and especially proud to be from west Texas. He was a man of his word, was very patriotic and collected eagle statuettes. He was an avid Dallas Cowboys fan and liked to drive his red Corvette.

But most of all he enjoyed spending time with friends and family.

Jack was preceded in death by his parents, three infant sisters: Reba Jane, Virginia Lee, and Sandra Gay McNeil, one son Homer E. McNeil, II, and granddaughter Danielle Chaney.

He is survived by his wife Kay McNeil of the home, a sister Gene Brown of Wichita Falls, daughter Denise Joiner of El Paso, son Paul Chaney of Pampa, grandson Dustin Joiner and wife Sarah of Pampa,  granddaughter Breely McNeil of Amarillo, great granddaughter Gabi Joiner of Houston, several nieces and nephews,  great nieces and  one great nephew.

A Celebration of Life will be held at the Sale Barn Cowboy Church in Wichita Falls on May 15 at 2:00 pm.
