Jack E. Mobley

Jack Eugene Mobley went to be with his Lord and Savior on Saturday, February 14th, 2015 at the age of 78, leaving his family to God's comfort. "For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is be revealed to us...." (Romans 8:18.)

Jack was born in Pulaski, Missouri on April 11th, 1936 to Elvis and Bethel Mobley. He was one of twelve children (9 boys and 3 girls). He was born in a small two room house next to the train tracks. His family moved to Doniphan where he lived on a farm raising cattle and horses. He traveled and worked various construction jobs throughout the United States. During those travels, he met the love of his life, Bernice Malchar while in Port Lavaca, Texas. Jack and Bernice married January 2nd, 1960. They had three sons, Chuck, Todd and Jeff. The family moved many times over the years until they made their home in Deer Park, Texas in 1969.

Jack was a self-made man. He had little more than a high school education and founded Mobley Industrial Painters in March of 1979 (out of his home), which became Mobley Industrial Services Inc. in 2000. The company was built based on honesty and integrity and now has five offices and 1500 employees.

Jack's passion was his family and his love of the outdoors. He was a true "Cowboy" and a gentleman. He loved his ranches, riding a horse, his cows, riding on his tractor, hunting.....and a nice cigar. Jack gave back to the community every chance he got. He was an active member of numerous associations and very involved in the community. He was a large supporter of the Pasadena and Houston Rodeos.

Jack Mobley could light up a room with his smile, charm and personality. His smile was contagious, as was his laughter. "Bless your heart" was a heartfelt sentiment from Jack.

Jack is survived by his loving wife, Bernice, of 55 years. Jack also leaves behind sons Chuck Mobley and wife Kelly, Jeff Mobley and wife Paula, and daughter-in-law Tyma Mobley. He is survived by grandchildren Blake, Kari, Kaylin, Jordan, Reece, Chase, Grant and Ty. Two great-grandchildren Abigail and Karson Need.
