Jack Franklin Steely's Obituary
Jack Franklin Steely, age 74, beloved son and brother, passed away February 10, 2025.
Jack was born in Atlanta to Paul and Mamie Steely. He was a graduate of South Cobb High School, Class of 1968.
Jack, or “Jackie” to his family, dearly valued nature and the outdoors. In earlier years, he went hiking every weekend, where he found peace in solace among the trees. Jack adored his fish and his neighborhood cats, who are now going to miss their daily treats. Jackie was a good, kind soul that was beloved by all.
Jack is survived by his siblings, Doloris Nelson (David) of Hiram, Jane Morton (Jerry) of Temple, and Charles Steely (Lynn) of Douglasville; along with many nieces, nephews, and extended family.
A memorial service honoring Jack’s life will be held Thursday, February 13, 11:00 AM at Davis-Struempf Chapel with his nephews, David Nelson and Daniel Nelson, officiating.
