Jackie Ray Houseberg 70, passed away on Tuesday, January 23, 2024. in Wichita Kansas.  He was born in Wichita Kansas to Maxine (Gordon) Houseberg and Jack M Houseberg. His parents both preceded him in death.  He attended North High School in Wichita.  His career as a cement finisher was with the USD 259 School District where he retired from.

He was a lifelong Oklahoma Football Sooner fan.  Game days were big.  Jack's family and friends would have a great time, which were filled with a lot of fun.

Somehow he always managed to at least watch the football games on television or attend the game.
