Adolph Janecka

Adolph “Jeddo” Janecka, beloved husband, father and grandfather, passed away April 7, 2015 at the age of 87. He was born to Albert and Antonia (Kusak) Janecka on July 27, 1927, in Jeddo, TX, where he grew up hunting and fishing and attended school in the one room school house. Jeddo, as he was known to his friends and family, served his country as an Infantryman in the US Army during the Korean War. After Korea, he returned to his beloved Texas where he settled in Taylor and worked in the meatpacking industry, where he spent more than 50 years before retiring from Taylor Meat Company. His love of hunting and fishing remained with him well into his 70’s, surpassed only by his love of dominos.

He was a member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church and Knights of Columbus.

Jeddo is survived by his wife of 57 years, Beatrice Kozel Janecka, his four children Albert Janecka (Lee) of Taylor, Benny Janecka of Taylor, Ricky Janecka (Diana) of Austin and Ann Janecka Baum (Jim) of Rowlett, his sister Marie Vinklarek of Cistern, his 7 grandchildren Adam, Amy, Candice and Johnette Janecka, James Jr., Matthew, and Robert Baum. He was preceded in death by his parents and brothers Louis, Willie and Paul Janecka.
