John Gibbons obituary, 1987-2023, Dallas, TX

GIBBONS, John “Jack” Edward went to his heavenly home far too early on Nov. 19, 2023, at the age of 36. Jack was born on March 19, 1987, in Dallas to Mary Lou and David Gibbons. He was a curious and joyful child, qualities that followed him throughout his life. Jack’s sense of humor, generous nature and infectious, welcoming smile resulted in an extensive circle of friends from all facets of his life. Jack’s light continues to shine through his adoring daughter Ann “Annie” Whittaker Gibbons, who shares her daddy’s curiosity and wide smile. Jack was a loving father to Annie, and he was determined to give her the world. A natural adventure seeker, Jack was sure that the biggest adventure of his life would be raising Annie with his devoted wife Sarah (Boynton) Gibbons. …
… An avid cyclist, Jack loved to be on the bike in nature, especially around White Rock Lake – or en route to a morning treat at Mustang Donuts.

He was just happy to take in the fresh air and share his love of cycling with a new friend.
