Jack Jaycox, 88, of McKeesport, PA passed away on February 12, 2014. A veteran of the US Air Force and a graduate of the University of Pittsburgh, Jack later earned his Master’s Degree in Electrical Engineering from Carnegie Melon University. In McKeesport, he married and had three sons, Jack, Daniel and Terrence.

Jack relocated to Arizona in the 1970s where he founded Jaycox Air Conditioning and Heating in 1978. Today the business continues to thrive with Terry and Danny at the helm along with a handful of grandchildren who collectively work to make his early vision a modern day reality. Jack found great satisfaction in his multigenerational legacy.

Jack was an avid golfer (three hole-in-ones during his life) and former President of the Sun City Country Club. Other hobbies included Astronomy and watching Football. Jack’s greatest love was family. He took great joy in coordinating family reunions with his grandchildren that had spread out across the country.
