Jack R. Brannan

Age 88, of Canton, passed away Thursday, Jan. 13, 2022.  He was born March 14, 1933 in Canton, a son of the late Robert and Grace (Baker) Brannan, and was a life resident.  Jack was a 1951 graduate of Timken High School and retired in 1988 from Republic Steel Union Drawn Division, after 37 years' service as a machinist.  Jack was a 45 years member of Canton Lodge #60, F. & A.M., the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite, Valley of Canton, Past President and Trustee of McKinley Eagles #2370, an avid McKinley Bulldog Booster with his wife, and also a GlenOak Eagles Booster following his grandsons.  Earlier in life he had been a Boy Scout Leader.  Jack and Jewell loved to travel and eat, and mostly ate at local Mom and Pop restaurants wherever they traveled.  If there was a child in need, his huge heart for kids compelled him to contribute.

In addition to his parents, Jack was preceded in death by his wife of 52 years, Jewell Brannan, on July 16, 2007.  He is survived by two daughters, Kathy (Steve) Sargeant and Jackie (Jeff) Bungo, five grandsons, Nicholas, Dylan and Adam Fronk, Bryan (Katie) Bungo and Kyle Bungo.

A private family service will be held.  There will be no visitation, and interment will be in Sunset Hills Burial Park.  In lieu of flowers, contributions in Jack's memory may be made to Akron Children's Hospital or Stark Board of Developmental Disabilities.  Condolences may be left at: www.gordonfuneralhomes.com
