Barnes Family Funerals - Jack Anderson Monger

Jack Anderson Monger, age 89 of Nixa, Missouri, passed away Monday, March 23, 2015 in Mercy Hospital, Springfield, Missouri. He was born August 11, 1925 in Oldfield, Missouri to Joe and Cora (Anderson) Monger. On March 27, 1944, he began proudly serving his country as a member of the United States Marine Corps and was honorably discharged in 1946. Jack was literally a “Jack” of all trades. He operated an insurance office, served as Christian County Sheriff, was a successful realtor, and worked in construction. He loved to travel, hunt, and fish. For those who knew Jack, it was obvious he was not a procrastinator. He wanted things done immediately and done correctly. He never sat around and was always on the go. His outgoing personality was a admirable trait and he loved visiting with everyone. Jack was preceded in death by his parents, eleven siblings, and a grandson, Dallas Wayne Lightfoot. He is survived by son Johnny Monger and wife Kathy; daughter Jackie Lightfoot, daughter Judy Lile and husband Mike, all of Clever, Missouri. Jack is additionally survived by two stepchildren, John Smith of Nixa and Lucia Cann of Springfield; 13 grandchildren, 25 great-grandchildren, many nieces, nephews, cousins and a number of individuals that were very close to his heart. Funeral Services will be at 2:00 P.M. Thursday, March 26, 2015 in Barnes Family Funeral Home, Ozark, with Pastor Jamie Bilyeu officiating. Burial with full military honors will follow in Sparta Cemetery. Visitation will be 6:00P.M. to 8:00 P.M. Wednesday evening, March 25, 2015 in the funeral home.

    My heart just breaks on the passing of one of the worlds most kindest, funny, helping man. Jack was indeed one of the last of the good ole boys. I met him in 1992 working for Cecil and ginny Blevins fuel station and we stayed friends. He would come visit me at work and call me butthead a name acquired at the gas station, tell people I work with I was his girlfriend and don’t tell my husband!! And then laugh his special laugh. I am truly truly going to miss that man. Rest in peace my dear friend, you will always have a special place in my heart.

    Jackie, John & Judy,
    Your dad was truly one of a kind; so very special. So many times growing up walking up and down the hill between houses and your dad always finding something to tease us about. He took us all on my first snipe hunt and opened up your home to all of us Seniors after graduation to keep us all safe. My sincere condolences to the family.

    Jack was one of the best men that I ever met. When I was little, he always had the patience to explain things. Between Jack and my dad, Delbert Howard, they made a passion for old cars blossom and grow that has lasted to this day. I remember working on sanding boards for the bed of an old truck for him until I couldn’t move my arms. I wanted to do a good job for him. I helped dad paint emblems and details on that truck, and it was one of the best projects that we ever did together. I loved Jack, and I know he will be missed.
