Jonathan "Jonny" Ellison Eakman

Jonathan Ellison Eakman (Jonny), age 40, passed suddenly on September 22nd, 2019 as he was comforted by his mother. Jonny was born in Fort Worth, Texas to Glen and Barbara Eakman in September of 1979. Jonny will be missed everyday by his Mother and his older brother, Lindel, and Lindel’s family alongside his loving aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. We are comforted that he will now spend more time with the father and grandparents that he lost too early in life.

Jonny graduated from Texas Christian University and later attended Southern Methodist University. Jon had struggled with his health and wellness in recent years even as he found solace in nature, through-hiking the Colorado Trail and Appalachian trail as “Duke” and navigating the length of the Mississippi River by paddle. He loved living at the lake with all his childhood memories of Colbert Boat Club on Lake Texoma.

Jonny was a spiritual believer, attending church regularly, and cherished his participation in the Masonic Lodge of Colbert, Oklahoma and the Scottish Rite of Macalester, Oklahoma. He was a constant reader, studying history, culture, and religion deeply. Jonny also enjoyed gardening, born with a green thumb inherited from his mother and grandfather.

We will be holding graveside services for Jonny on October 5th, at 10AM in the Garden of Rest at Bluebonnet Hills Cemetery located at 5725 Colleyville Blvd, Colleyville, Texas, 76034.

In lieu of flowers, those who so desire may make memorial donations in memory of Jonny to the charity of your choice. The family would appreciate sharing any memories and photos of Jonny at lucasfuneralhomes.com.
