John Allen 'Jack' Workman, 82

John Allen “Jack” Workman, 82, was born on Pinkham Creek on Oct. 24, 1938. He passed away peacefully at Mountain View Manor on Sept. 20, 2021, after a long battle with Parkinson’s.

Jack was educated in the Pinkham Creek School, Eureka Elementary, and Lincoln County High School where he met the love of his life, Carol Graves. They were married soon after graduation and enjoyed 61 years together. Jack and Carol explored their career options outside of Montana before returning to Eureka to raise their family, where Jack resumed his career as a logger. During spring break-up, Jack and Carol took time to explore the western U.S. He was a quiet man of faith who knew his Savior, and a dedicated husband, father, and grandfather. After retirement, Jack loved spending time in the woods with his family, dog (Taz), and on his own. He enjoyed working to restore his Model T. He was a mentor to many, and an example to more. He was a gentle soul who will be dearly missed.

Jack was preceded in death by his mother and father Alta and Charles; brothers Wayne, Lynn, Sid, Chuck and Roger; and sister, EllaGene.

He is survived by his brother, Harry; sister, Lula; sister-in-law, Peggy, wife, Carol; children, Ken (Jody) and Valorie (Ken); grandchildren, Zach, Sarah and Megan (Steven); and great-grandchildren, William, Thomas and Mason.

Graveside services were held in Eureka.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research (www.michaeljfox.org/donate).
