It is with profound sadness that we announce the death of John “Mack” Hamilton of Buda, TX. He died peacefully at the age of 68, after a long and courageous battle with cancer.
Mack was born in Dallas, TX on February 17, 1953 to John Max and Jeanne Angele Hamilton. He was baptized in the Presbyterian church and graduated from Bryan Adams High School in Dallas and attended East Texas State University in Commerce. As a young child, he loved spending summers with his grandparents on their farm in Mt. Pleasant. Growing up, Mack spent almost every weekend enjoying time outdoors and fishing with his sister, Kathleen, at the family’s East Texas resort, Tejas Village on Lake O’ the Pines.
Mack met the love of his life, Linda McQuain Hamilton, while performing in a community theater in Longview, TX. Mack and Linda enjoyed reminiscing about how they met, telling stories about how Mack played the character of Dr. Watson in a Sherlock Holmes play. They married in 1994 and enjoyed 24 years of happy times together living in Longview, Houston and Buda.
