My sympathy to the Teague Family.

I had the pleasure of knowing and working with JC, and found him to be always a good person and ready to help in any way he could.
Remember his good sense of humor and laughter.
So sorry to hear of his passing, will surely be missed.
May God give you all peace and bring healing to your hearts.

I am so sorry for your loss. May the God who "binds up the brokenhearted" and "comforts all who mourn" sustain you during this difficult time. (Isaiah 61:1,2). My prayers are with your family.

My sympathy to the Teague family with the passing of JC. I was grateful to have visited with him at Aaron and Sarah's wedding last year in Floydada. May the Good Lord shine his light upon you in your time of grief. As the lyrics go. Go rest high on that mountain, son, your work here on earth is done. Rest In Peace J.C.

JC was such a wonderful person and great customer and worker. We all loved him at the Thrifty Nickel. He will be missed by all the lives he touched. My deepest sympathy to his wife, son and family.

Uncle JC was always there to help you out of a pickle. He rescued my two young girls and me when we got stranded right off the highway on our way to visit them in Odessa. He and Dana didn't think twice about driving out 30-40 miles to get us. He towed my car in and ensured it got taken care of. He was just that kind hearted kind of man. Keep an eye on everyone Uncle J.C. Love you.

I remember J.C. as a good friend. He told me I had upset him one time but all ended well. I guess he never got to build the jet-mobile he said he wanted to build in our year book in 1957.
