Jack Robert Weeks, 93, of Melbourne, died Friday, December 13, 2024, with his loyal wife by his side.

He was born to the late Mark and Stella Lee Parker Weeks on February 6, 1931, in Westville, FL.  He graduated from Ponce De Leon High School in 1948.  He met Tommie Jean Kirkland in Mariana, FL while she was working at the Jackson Co. Motor Company, and he brought his car in for service.  They were married on May 12, 1956, in the Ozark Baptist Church in Ozark, AL.   They later welcomed a son, John Michael in 1957 and a daughter, Karen Rubye in 1960.

The booming 1960's Space Industry brought him to Brevard County in 1956 when Jack was hired by Pan Am World Services, Inc...  Over his years of employment, he received numerous Letters of Appreciation and Commendations from "Customers" and Pan Am Management for being a proactive, conscientious, dedicated employee, and a valuable member of the Service Supply Team.  While Jack loved to educate anyone who would listen about his work, he was also very proud of his work as an elected, active member of the Board of Directors for the One Donation Club.  He retired in 1987 after 31 years.  After some time traveling, including great new friendships created on a mountainside in Blairsville, GA something always brought Jack and Tommie back home to Brevard County... Probably the Grand-dogs!!

He was a die-hard Miami Dolphins fan dating back to the 1970's with the start of the Don Shula era, and of course he loved anything to do with the Florida Gators!  He also retained a vast historical knowledge of US Politics.  He was passionate about casting a ballot and never missed an Election, including the most recent one.  Undoubtedly over the years, his four-legged buddies were probably his biggest admirers (Leroy, Lance, Ray-Ban, Thunder and Roco).  When they were together it was not obvious which one was the happiest.  He always made sure to have a pocket full of dog treats which he loved to trade for wet dog kisses!

Jack was predeceased by his only son, John Michael Weeks who died in 1992 at the age of 35 after a long, courageous battle with AIDS.  Jack forever remained an exceptionally proud father of Mike.

Jack was also predeceased by his three siblings, Marcus Eugene Weeks, Claris Faye Weeks Hornsby, and Martha Weeks Horton.

Jack is survived by his loving wife of 68 years, Tommie Jean Kirkland Weeks of Melbourne.  He is also survived by a proud daughter, Karen (Jonathan) Murray; Also, a very special nephew, Hayward Hornsby, Jack considered to be his "other" son.  Numerous nieces and nephews.
