Jacky P. Dunlap, 73, of Sod, WV, went to his Heavenly Home, Saturday, December 31, 2022, to await his family. He was preceded in death by his parents, Ercel and Millie Smith Dunlap, sister, Wilma Teel and sister and brother-in-law, Ganava & Ken Hughes.
Jacky was a Christian and a life-long member of McCorkle Freewill Baptist Church. He was a retired coal miner and proud member of UMWA last working at Wells Complex Plant in Wharton, WV, and was a 1967 Duval High School graduate.
He is survived by the love of his life, wife of 53 years, Charlene, and his children of whom he was very proud, daughter, Paula (Brett) Matthews and son, Jason (Lorie) Dunlap. He is also survived by his sister, Trilby (Tim) Baumgartner, and a host of other family and friends including his church family whom he adored. Last but not least his feline friends Doc and Festus and granddogs, Elli Mae and Sadie.
Service will be 2:00pm Saturday, January 7, 2023, at McCorkle Freewill Baptist Church with Pastor Isaiah Hatfield officiating. Family and friends will gather two hours prior to the service at the church. Burial will follow at Pine Grove Cemetery.
A special thank you to all of his caregivers including, and especially Peggy and Jerry Marker, Donna and Shellee Hughes, Lonnie and Dottie Dunlap, as well as his hospice nurse, Melanie, for their wonderful care.
Jacky’s favorite verse was Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jacky’s future is now fulfilled.
Charlene and family, Just think what the world would be like if we had more people in it like Jacky. Thinking of all of you.
Steve and Marty Mininger
I am so very sorry for the loss of your daddy Paula
Dear Charlene,
Our sympathy goes out to you and your family for your loss. He will be missed by all. Some of the most enjoyable projects Steve and I had were the ones when Jacky was on our Miller-Mininger crew. He was a good worker and friend.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you,
Galen Miller and Joan Carroll
Dear Charlene, Paula &Jason:
We are so very sorry for the very deep loss of your precious Husband and Father.
I know he did not have an easy departure from this life because of his illness; but be comforted knowing that he now has no pain or sorrow as he was delivered by the heavenly angels into God/Jesus’ loving arms in paradise.
I just buried my Mother this past Friday and I know the tremendous loss and heartache you are feeling.
May God Bless you in the
upcoming days ahead.
Love,
Marshall & Sandy (Madden) Pauley
