Jon Macey O’Neill, born April 18, 1940, went home to be with our Lord on Sunday July 7, 2024, after a lengthy battle with Alzheimer’s.

He was born to Hazel and Macey O’Neill, both of whom preceded him in death. He graduated from Lane Tech College Preparatory High School for boys in Chicago, IL. Following high school, Jon attended and graduated from the University of Tulsa in Tulsa, OK. He earned a BBA. He was an active member in the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity. He met Mary Lee Bradford O’Neill while attending TU. They married on November 23, 1963. She preceded him in death.

Jon worked for over 50 years in the retail industry – clothing and automotive – including owning his own ladies’ boutique named “Jon’s” in Ft. Smith, AR. While living in Arkansas, he was a very active Scout leader for the Boy Scouts of America while his son was active with them. Jon was also a member of the Masonic Order, attaining the level of Shriner. After retiring, Jon’s love of traveling and connecting with friends and family became his priority. He drove all over North America multiple times and enjoyed a few cruises.

Jon is survived by one son, four daughters, nine grandchildren, and many many great-grandchildren.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Dallas Street Dog Advocates (dsda.org) where the family adopted their last dog, Moose, or the Alzheimer’s Association (act.alz.org) to help find a prevention or cure for this awful disease.

A Memorial Service for Jon will be on Saturday, July 27, 2024, 2:00 p.m. at Canyon Creek Presbyterian Church in Richardson, Texas.
