Charlie Jackson “Jack” Bullock, Jr. was born in Paducah, Tx on June 20, 1936. The oldest son of the Sheriff, he found humor in telling people that he was “raised in a Hockley County jail cell”. The family moved to Levelland, Tx where he attended public school. Within a year of graduation he traded his football cleats for an Air Force uniform. He went to boot camp in San Antonio, then on to Valdosta, Ga. His job was MP and his duty stations included deployment in Korea. In 1962 he married Katheryn Wooten Wilson and assumed the fatherly role of raising her daughter as his own. By the end of that same year, the couple would be blessed with a second daughter. Jack received his Honorable Discharge from the USAF in 1963.
The couple lived in Dallas and in Plano before moving to Eustace, Tx where they would reside for many years. Jack worked several jobs before settling down as a TDCJ-ID Corrections Officer where he worked the law library at Beto 1 until his retirement in 1994. He loved fishing, traveling, and the mountains. He loved boxing and his Dallas Cowboys, working in his yard, his family, reading his Bible, and he loved to lead singing at the Eustace Church of Christ where he served as an Elder until the couple moved to Magnolia, Tx. While he was a quiet man he did enjoy a dry sense of humor and was well known for his willingness to “cut up”. You could always count on “serious” though when discussing how extremely proud he was of his family. He was proceeded in death by his father Charlie Jackson Bullock, Sr., mother Julia Arlinda Berry Crabtree, brothers Troy and Max, sisters Gay Bullock Bigham and Murl Bullock Davis, stepdaughter Bobbie Lynn Wilson Hendley and granddaughter Stephanie Hendley Lambert. He is survived by Katheryn, his loving wife of 59 years, by daughter Jo Ann Bullock Bell and husband Cecil, by grandchildren Jennifer Hendley Larkin, Cecil Bell III and wife Michelle, Charlie Jackson Bell and wife Daijah, by great grandchildren William Larkin, Thomas White, Shelby Hobgood, Katelyn Larkin, Addilyn Bell, Bridget Bell, Cecil Bell IV, three great great grandkids and a host of beloved nieces, nephews and cousins.
He fought a good fight. He finished the race. He kept the faith. 2Timothy 4-7
