His life was filled with family, church, singing and wonderful hours of gardening, including obtaining his Master Gardening certification. Jack either had a song or a joke, or often both, for most any occasion. He was a beloved spouse, father, brother, uncle, grandfather,  great grandfather and friend to many who will dearly miss his easy smile, quick song, quirky humor and warm hug. Jack was preceded in death by his beloved daughter, Susan Mitchell. Survivors: wife, Bobbie; sons, Stuart Mitchell of Lewisville and Joe Canterberry of Atlanta, Georgia; daughter, C.C. Ryder of Ft. Worth; sister, Nancy Cartwright of North Richland Hills; niece Kelly Thompson of North Richland Hills; 7 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren;
