Jack Kyle DeKoeyer of St. Johnsbury died May 24, 2011, at the age of 57. Jack graduated from St. Johnsbury Academy with the class of 1971. In Florida he worked as a carpenter with a large scale building contracting company. He was living at the Depot Square Apartments at the time of his death. Jack grew up in West Barnet around Harvey's Lake where he got his love of the outdoors. In his day he knew all about what you could and couldn't eat in the woods, knowledge from which he derived the nickname "Outback Jack!" Jack was really a multi-talented individual in many ways: landscaping, carpentry, artist, car detailing, and making dandelion wine. He was fortunate enough to have attended many concerts and loved the music of Credence Clearwater Revival. He is survived by his mother, Mary DeKoeyer of St. Johnsbury; his father, Jack H. DeKoeyer and Inge Gray of Littleton, N.H.; eight brothers and sisters: Carol Ann Keys of Hooksett, N.H.; Susan Caldwell of Boynton Beach, Fla.; Mike DeKoeyer and Michelle Travis of West Barnet; Michelle "Missy" Moen and husband Las of New Smyrna Beach, Fla.; Patricia 'Tresa' DeKoeyer of Concord; Mark DeKoeyer and Sherri Gervais of Passumpsic; Lisa DeKoeyer and husband Joe of Pompano Beach, Fla.; Cindy Rodd and husband Casey of St. Johnsbury; eight nieces and nephews: Christopher, Tracey, and Micah; Sara; Shon; Joseph, Jackie, and Chelsea; nine great-nieces; two great-nephews; one great-great-niece; many aunts and uncles, and cousins. He was predeceased by a sister Jackie and a nephew Seth. A gathering of friends and family will be held at the Sayles Funeral Home this Sunday afternoon from 2-4PM. Anyone wishing to attend is welcome; come as you are.
