John "Jack" Horton Toomey Jr., age 68, passed away on February 27, 2021 in Gulfport, MS. He was born on July 9, 1952 and was a lifelong resident of Waveland.

He is survived by his two children, Tara (Josey) Waits, and Kara Toomey of Vancleave; 5 grandchildren, Saylor Sims, Sawyer Sims, Madilyn Garrett, Macie Waits, and Fisher Waits all of Vancleave; and his brother, EJ (Melinda) Toomey of Bay St. Louis.
He served our country in the National Guard. He spent most of his career as a welder and mechanical installer. He loved visits from his grandchildren and always made sure they had snack money to leave with. Raising and racing pigeons was always his passion. He also enjoyed hunting and being outdoors.
