Jack Anthony Robinson

Jack Anthony Robinson passed away on June 22, 2025, at home with his wife & son by his side. Jack was born in Carter, Oklahoma, September 9, 1940. He was raised on a farm in Retrop, Oklahoma, always picking cotton.

After serving in the Army, Jack went back to farming, and realized this was not what he wanted in life. He then graduated from Southwestern State College, Oklahoma, and soon got a job with John Deere. From there, he served as a territory manager & lived in Kansas and Texas, before settling in Overland Park, Kansas, at the John Deere Kansas City Branch. After several positions, he retired after 30 plus years as Credit Manager.

Jack was very athletic, playing baseball & basketball throughout high school. His horse riding skills allowed him to win the Kansas City Celebrity Cutting Horse Championship in 1991, representing John Deere. As an adult, he loved riding his motorcycle, was an avid tennis player for 30 years, golfer, snow skier, and most important to him....a runner. He ran in marathons & continued running until he was 80 years old.

After 10 years of dating, he married (finally) Peggy Jones in 1998. They lived in Overland Park, KS, until they both retired in 2000. They then moved to the Lake of the Ozarks, which he said were the best 10 years of his life. Living right on the lake, boating, & fishing was much fun, especially with the kids & granddaughter.

They moved to Pleasant Hill, MO, in 2011, and enjoyed the small town life.

Jack was raised in the Church of Christ, and continued his devotion as a member of the Pleasant Hill United Methodist Church & always had faith in our God.

Jack was preceded in death by his parents, Frank & Nora, his brother Charles, and his daughter, Shelly. He is survived by his wife, Peggy, Son Terry and wife, Karen, grandkids, Erica & Mike Jensen, great-granddaughter, Sage, and his fur-babies, Barney & Thelma Lou.

In accordance with Jack's wishes, there will be cremation with a private family celebration to be held in the future.

Memorial contributions in Jack's honor may be made to the Pleasant Hill United Methodist Church and send in care to Dickey Funeral Home, P.O. Box 432, Harrisonville, MO 64701
