Jack Wyatt Murphrey of Balch Springs, Texas tragically passed away on Thursday, February 28, 2019 at the age of 19. He was surrounded by his mother, Kay, his grandmother, Shirley, his Aunt Janie, and his Uncle Jeff.
Jack Wyatt was born to Cynthia Kay Murphrey and Jimme Wayne Huse on December 31, 1999 in Dallas, Texas. Jack was the joy of his mother’s life. His childhood was filled with love and laughter. His “Poppy” took him regularly to feed the ducks at the park and eat breakfast at Braum’s. He, his mother, and maternal grandparents visited Disney World and met Disney characters, but Buzz and Woody remained his favorites. Jack enjoyed dressing up for Halloween, riding bikes and going to Sunday School. Through participation in Sunday School and Vacation Bible School he accepted The Lord as his personal Savior.
During his school years, Jack attended school at Balch Springs Christian Academy 1st – 4th grade, Central Elementary and Seagoville Middle School. Jack finished school, earning his High School Diploma from Crossroads Academy in 2017.
In his early teen years, Jack began to participate in dirt bike racing, played football in middle school and enjoyed being outdoors. In September of 2013, Jack sustained a head injury due to a dirt bike accident. Jack persevered and was able to participate in a family wedding by November of that year.
Jack had a special love for those around him. He often would come home and tell his mother about students at school who had no supplies, needed school uniforms, or coats and shoes. Off the two would go to make purchases so those students would have what they needed. Jack also had a great love for animals. He would routinely bring home stray dogs for nursing back to health and made makeshift beds for them while he and his mother bottle fed them to health.
Jack is survived by his mother, Cynthia Kay Murphrey, father, Jimme Wayne Huse, maternal grandmother, Shirley Jane Murphrey, paternal grandmother, Joyce Cummings, paternal great-grandmother Roberta Griffith, Aunt Renita Jane Baker, Uncle Jeffrey Charles Baker, cousins, Jonathon Baker and son Hudson Charles Baker, Billy Joel Baker and wife Kayla Renee Baker and son Elias, Jenny LeighAnne Baker and paternal sisters Ashley and Brooklyn Huse, paternal Aunt January and paternal cousins Angel and Abel Cerveny.
