It is with great sadness that we bring you the news that Jack McCoy passed away this weekend. Jack is the father of Jon and Brian, uncle to Greg and Doug, brother and longtime partner of Mike McCoy and a friend to many.
Jack, age 79, passed peacefully on September 28, 2024, in Madison, WI. He was born in Lena, IL on July 30, 1945, the son of Robert and Mary (Gile) McCoy.
Jack grew up in the small town of Shullsburg, WI. While he moved to Darlington a few years after he was out of school, his heart never really left Shullsburg. The better part of his professional career was spent working there. Jack was a second-generation family business owner of McCoy Group. He was an instrumental figure in helping the business grow into one of the premier transportation companies in North America. All of his kids worked in the business……something he was very proud of. With the help of his longtime partner and brother Mike, he was successful in transitioning the business to the third generation. Under today’s ownership the business continues to break barriers, reach new heights, and demonstrate commitment to the communities in which it operates.
Jack was an incredible person who touched many lives, including the legacy he leaves here at McCoy Group. Jack’s life was a testament to the values of family, friendship, and community. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
Jack is survived by his devoted wife, Susan, and their children, Lisa (Bryan) Bechtoldt, Jon (Dawn) McCoy, and Brian (Renee) McCoy.
Visitation will be held on Thursday, October 10 from 3-7 pm at Centenary United Methodist Church, 226 W Church Street, In Shullsburg, WI. A funeral service will occur on Friday, October 11, at 11 am.
