John Patrick ‘Jack’ Condon Jr., 91
John Patrick Condon Jr., 91, died February 27, 2026, at Emerson Hospital — the same hospital where he was born May 19, 1934.
Affectionately known as Jack or Butch, he attended Acton public schools, graduating from Acton High School in 1953. There, he was on the winning track team, competing in high jump and hurdles. He also played basketball, football, and baseball and was a lifelong Patriots, Red Sox, Celtics, and Bruins fan.
Jack was born to John Patrick and Margaret Mansfield Condon of West Acton. His father owned Condon’s Package Store on Commonwealth Avenue. When his father died, Jack and his brother Jim took over the family liquor and real estate businesses. Jack traveled to vineyards in France and Germany to expand the wine business. During the Korean War, Jack served in the U.S. Army in the 9th Signal Company stationed in West Germany. He was predeceased by his brother Jim, his five sisters, two nephews, and his parents.
A talented tenor, Jack enjoyed sharing his musical talent. He sang in the choir of Our Lady’s Church in West Acton and performed with the Basically Broadway singing group in Boston. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus and Kiwanis and was a lifetime member of Musketaquid Sportsman’s Club. Religion played an important role in Jack’s life: He was always finding ways to help others, whether it be supporting food pantries or serving as a eucharistic minister. A dedicated volunteer with Haitian Outreach, he traveled to Haiti on multiple missions to bring clothing, building and medical supplies, and equipment.
Jack lived in Acton and Newton, and in Midlothian, Virginia, before moving to Carver.
He is survived by his longtime companion, Judith Bowering Funkhouser, and his many nieces and nephews.
Family and friends will gather for a burial service at St. Bernard’s Cemetery and celebration of life in Acton this spring. The date will be announced.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Dee Funeral Home & Cremation Service of Acton. To share a remembrance or to offer a condolence on Jack’s tribute page, visit DeeFuneralHome.com.
