Jack H. Adams, Jr. of The Colony, Texas, passed away at the age of 85 on Sunday, September 13, 2020 at Windhaven Assisted Living in Frisco, Texas. He was born in San Antonio, Texas to Jack and Iretta Hooe and their family relocated to Dallas, Texas. Jack attended Armstrong Elementary and Highland Park High School where he excelled in tennis. He then attended Southern Methodist University on a tennis scholarship, majored in business, and played tennis competitively for three years until he enlisted to serve in the United States Army. He was assigned to the army hospital in Stuttgart, Germany and upon his honorable discharge returned to Dallas and began his career in the fire and casualty insurance industry, where he met his life partner and wife, Mary Ann Zapalac. They were married in Holy Trinity Catholic Church and would have been married 60 years this October.
Jack started his own general insurance agency, Adams Special Risk, specializing in surplus lines, and his wife, Mary Ann, worked alongside him.
