JOHNSON CITY - Jack C. “Papaw” Eller, 95, of Johnson City, TN went to meet his Lord and Savior on May 28, 2023. He was born October 1, 1927, in Johnson County, TN, the youngest son of the late Jesse Franklin and Eliza Patrick Eller.

In 1947, his family moved from Johnson County to Carter County where he met his one true love, June Sanders. They married on June 16, 1950, and were married over 72 years at the time of his passing.

Papaw was a proud veteran of the U.S. Army having served in Japan during the Korean Conflict.

He retired as Johnson City distribution plant manager of Pet Dairy in 1992 after 28 years of service. Papaw Jack began his work there as a home service delivery milk man where his honesty, integrity and friendship earned him the trust of his many loyal customers, some of whom gave him keys to there home so he could put their milk in the refrigerator.

Papaw was a dedicated Christian and a member of Southwestern Baptist Church where he was an active member of the Homer Price Sunday School class and served as a past Deacon at Cedar Grove Baptist Church. He also served on the Board of Directors of West Carter County Fire Dept. for several years.

Papaw Jack was a loving, caring and generous husband, father, grandfather and friend. Two of his greatest assets were his work ethic and his understanding of what he called “CS", (common sense).

Before retiring he helped a great deal with the care of his parents.

In addition, he and Mamaw also cared for his mother-in-law who lived in their home until her passing.

After retiring, his biggest pleasure was caring for his lawn and his garden. Papaw grew a great deal of vegetables, especially tomatoes and loved to share them with his friends and neighbors.

He and Mamaw also spent countless hours caring for three of his older sisters and an older brother in their later years.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by all his siblings, sisters, Ruth Clarke, Olive Humphreys, Kate Shupe, and Maurene Robinson; brothers, Bruce, Fred, Howard, Ray and infant brother, Frank Eller.

Those left to cherish his memory are his loving wife of 72 years 11 ½ months, June Sanders Eller; son, Kevin Eller (Suzanne); grandson, Corben Eller; granddaughter, Hannah Smith (Austin); and great-granddaughter, Molly Paige Smith as well as numerous nieces and nephews and his special friends, Ted Hughes and Ed Hughes.
