Jack was affectionately known as “Uncle Yack” to his nieces and nephews and was often called “High Pockets” due to his tall stature and the location of his pants pockets.

He is survived by his only son, Jason McMahan and wife Melissa of Midland, two sisters, Joyce Boyd of Snyder and Mary Lou Goodson of Fort Worth.
