Jackie Lynn Means

SHERMAN - Jackie Lynn Means, age 62, passed away Saturday, January 11, 2014 at Texas Health Presbyterian WNJ hospital in Sherman.

Jackie Means was born January 30, 1951 in Denison, the son of Jack and Florene (Park) Means. Jackie attended and graduated from Denison High School in 1969. Two weeks after graduation Jackie married his high school sweetheart and the love of his life, Peggy Minyard in Denison. Jackie worked as a plumber from the time that he was in school, and achieved the status of a master plumber during his 44+ years in the profession. When not at work he enjoyed playing the guitar and singing, fishing, hunting and being outdoors in general. His children and grandchildren held a special place in his heart, and he loved to attend their sporting events to cheer them on. Above all he simply enjoyed being surrounded by his family, and his cooking was the best excuse to get them together under one roof. Jackie was a special person, and he will be missed beyond measure by those who knew and loved him.
