This has got to be one and the same Jack Keever that I am related to as a cousin. If his mother's name was Agnes, then it is the same Jack Keever. Here it is 2011 and I just thought of him today and decided to look him up. We only briefly met a few times, but he treated me like his younger sister telling me to save my money when I first started working in Austin with S.W.Bell. I am so sorry it took me so long to find out about his death. He was such a sweet and caring young man. It's sad that our paths didn't cross more often. Jack was from my Dad's side of the family and my parents were divorced when I was just a baby. I have lived in Spring, Texas for 30 years, Jack was only 2 years older than me. My love and condolences to his wife and family.

Jack and I were classmates in Thomas Jefferson High School. Jack was one of the most organized and cheerful students in our 1956 graduating class. Whenever our class met for reunions, Jack and I would visit together. I was impressed that he was always genuinely interested in how my career and family were doing. We all will miss him greatly, but we will cherish our fond memories and be thankful for knowing him.

I am deeply saddened by the death of my friend, Jack Keever. During my early years as a legislative aide in the Capitol, I asked for hints to improve my writing, and Jack critiqued a couple of pieces that were a part of my work product. He was unfailingly cheerful and helpful without a hint of snootiness in teaching a neophyte better writing. My sympathy to each family member and friend comes to you today. I regret that I cannot be present to honor his memory.

Cindy,
I learned of your loss through our mutual friend in Austin, Linda (Stallones) Classen. I just wanted you to know that my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

I remember Jack Keever in high school at Port Arthur, Texas. He had a big smile, and a big spirit - always connected positively with others around him. His generous heart will be remembered by everyone at Thomas Jefferson High School!

Jack was a good friend and a great reporter. When I started at the Capitol as a reporter for a local radio station, the Associated Press was one of the top news bureaus with Garth Jones, Ted Powers, Robert Heard, Lee Jones, and Jack. They each had their individual strengths, but Jack was one of the best. He was good for journalism and will be missed.
