Jackie Lee Gragg, 86, the middle child of George “Jack” and Stella (Forrest) Gragg, was born on August 22, 1929 in rural Rockville, Missouri, and departed this life peacefully at his home, surrounded by his family in Lee’s Summit, Missouri on May 16, 2016.

In his youth Jackie attended Appleton City High School until he left to serve his country in the United States Navy during the Second World War II on September 18, 1947. He received an honorable discharge in September 1951. Upon his return home he met the love of his life Wanda Marie Snyder, who were married November 17, 1951. To this union three children were born: Douglas Lee, Wanda Sue, and Penny Renee.

As a young man Jackie worked at the gas station in Rockville, which he later purchased from Henry Snyder. He later sold the business and began working for Appleton City High School as the head Custodian in 1979, where he remained until his retirement in 1999. Throughout his nineteen years of service he ensured the smooth operation of the school district.

Apart from his work, Jackie remained an avid Kansas City sports fan all his life, regularly attending Royals and Chiefs games. He greatly enjoyed reading western novels and watching western films. Furthermore, he rarely missed watching an episode of the Young and Restless with his three cats. Mr. Gragg absolutely loved eating chocolate ice cream. Other than this treat, only the time spent with his friends and family was a more important part of his daily routine.
