John Cronin Obituary

John B. Cronin Jr., 72, of Huntsville, Alabama, passed away peacefully on February 6, 2026. Born on May 27, 1953, in Spokane, Washington, he lived a life marked by devotion to his country and, most of all, to his family.

A proud United States Army veteran, Jack served with honor and carried that strength and loyalty with him throughout his life. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Nancy Cronin.

Jack is survived by his daughters, Sarah Cronin and Christie Thomason (Jeff Thomason); his grandchildren, Ashley White, (Ryan White)Ryan Thomason, and (Elsa Thomason); and his treasured great-grandchildren, Isaiah White, Elijah White, Olivia White, Knox Thomason, Kase Thomason, Wilder White, and Abel White.

Family was everything to Jack. He was known for his quick wit, unforgettable jokes, and the special nicknames he gave to those he loved. He cared deeply, loved fiercely, and made everyone around him feel valued. He will be missed beyond measure and remembered always for the laughter and love he brought into our lives.

A service with military honors will be held at Andersonville National Cemetery in Andersonville, Georgia, on Thursday, February 26 at 12:00 PM.
