Luther Mac Tackett entered the presence of Jesus on May 5, 2023.
Mac was born on April 18, 1936 in Palmer, Texas to parents Martin Luther and Clara Gentry Tackett. In 1949 the Tackett family moved from Palmer to Ennis, and that is where Mac attended school. In 1954 Mac decided to serve this great country and joined the United States Airforce. After his deployment to Korea in 1956 he met Jodene Jamison and shortly after, they were married. Mac and Jodene had two children, Donna and Marty. Mac had such deep devotion to the country that in 1959 he joined the United States Navy. After serving Mac went on to work as an aerial photographer and owned a couple of small businesses. Outside of family and faith Luther loved fishing. In 1987 Luther and his son Marty won the Texas Team Championship through Century Bass Club. The grand prize was a bass boat and that fueled his love of fishing even more. Our fondest memory will be of him sitting on the bank with a rod in his hand waiting for the fish to bite.
Mac is preceded in death by his son, Timothy "Marty" Tackett, and parents, Martin and Clara Tackett.
He is survived by daughter, Donna Hutson and husband Charles; grandchildren, Brian Hutson, Joel Hutson and wife Christen, Wesley Hutson and wife Nicole, Casey Hutson and wife Cara, Melina Goltsios; great grandchildren, Kylie Hutson, Christian Hutson, Luke Hutson, Caden Hutson, Chloe Hutson, Charlotte Hutson, Timothy Hutson, Lily Hutson, Abel Hutson; and many nieces and nephews.
