Jack R Mobley Sr.'s Obituary
Jack R. Mobley Sr. born on June 26, 1927 in Augusta, Georgia and died
December 20, 2017. He was a longtime resident of Jacksonville and
Ponte Vedra Beach. He dearly loved and was very proud of all his
family. He often spoke about his love in serving his country. Jack
enlisted in the US Navy at the tender age of 15 and served during
World War II, truly a gentleman and a genuine patriot, one of the very
best of our “Greatest Generation”.
When he left the Navy and began his career, he built many successful
business and civic relationships during his 50 year career with Delta
Air Lines, mostly spent in the Jacksonville area. Jack enjoyed
working, managing and was a strong mentor to many in his ‘Delta
family’.
He was pre-deceased by his parents, James H. Mobley Sr. and Viola Lynn
Mobley Parker and his three brothers, James H. Mobley Jr, Thomas J.
Mobley and Vernon L. Mobley.
Jack was also pre-deceased by his late wife Ella and their son, Jack
R. Mobley Jr. and his grandson, Matthew Joseph Hanus.
He is survived by his wife, Joan Mobley, his children, daughter Lynn
Mobley (Martha), daughter Ann Hanus (Rich), son, Jeff Mobley (Kathy)
and Jack Jr.’s wife, Susan Lucas.
He is also survived by five grandchildren, Jasan Mobley (Ceri), Ashley
Mobley (John), Erin Mobley, Patrick Mobley, Abigail Hanus and four
great-grandchildren, Charlotte Mobley, Abbott Warring, Jordan Mobley
and Jack Richard Mobley III. He will be greatly missed by each of us
and all the extended Mobley Family, his extensive Delta family and
many, many friends.
