Jackie Don

Oler

“

Jackie will be remembered as a one-of-a-kind man whose warmth, humor, and deep love for his family shaped the lives of those around him.

Jackie Don Oler, 69, passed away on November 12, 2026, surrounded by his family at home in Point, Texas.

Born on November 29, 1956, to Howard Vandell Oler and Bobbie Tatum in Dallas, Texas, Jackie will be remembered as a one-of-a-kind man whose warmth, humor, and deep love for his family shaped the lives of those around him. A jokester by nature, he loved to make people laugh and brought a lighthearted spirit wherever he went. He was also known as a good friend who was always willing to help. Grounded in his belief in Jesus and a dedicated deacon at First Baptist Church of Point, Jackie lived with a caring heart and a steady devotion to the people he loved most as well as his FBC church family.

Jackie worked at L3 for 18 years, a meaningful part of his life and working years. Beyond his career, he found joy in simple, familiar pleasures. He enjoyed antiquing, hunting, fishing and supervising home projects. He also had a special habit that made his family smile: watching Life360 to check on everyone he loved. Some of the most treasured images of Jackie are the quiet ones—sitting on the back porch, watching the deer, with his cat Kevin, who had adopted him and become a beloved companion.

Nothing mattered more to Jackie than his wife of 49 years, his Rains County high school sweetheart, and his family, whom he counted among his proudest blessings. He loved giving his family hugs and never missed a chance to tell them he loved them. That affection, spoken so freely and so often, will remain one of the greatest gifts he leaves behind. He was also fondly known as Granny Jennie’s FAVORITE, a distinction that surely brought him plenty of smiles.
