John Robert “JR” Ewing, 92, went to be with our Lord Monday, March 2, 2026, in Azle.

Visitation was 1-3 p.m. Monday, March 9 at First Methodist Church of Azle. A graveside service followed at 4 p.m. at Azleland Memorial Park.

JR was born July 23, 1933, in Henderson to Mae Violet (Golden) Ewing and John Armstead Ewing. He was united in marriage to Troy Francis Bryson June 11, 1955.

JR proudly served in the United States Army. He enjoyed a long and successful career as an engineer with General Dynamics and Lockheed Martin, where he dedicated 40 years of service. In 1968, he established Emco Oil and Gas with his business partner, Bud Moreland.

JR cherished his time with family and friends — whether on the golf course, at the hunting camp, on the farm, around the card table, or at dinner. Above all, he was a devoted and beloved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother and a friend to many who will miss him dearly.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Troy; parents Mae Violet and John Armstead Ewing; brother Lynn Ewing; and second wife Sue Fournier.

Those left behind to cherish his memory are his sons, John (Jay) Robert Ewing Jr. and wife Michelle of Weatherford and Bryson Ewing and wife Shelly of Chesterfield, Virginia; his grandchildren, Jared Ewing and wife Alison, Caitlin Sampson and husband Milton, Bryson (Kendall) Ewing and wife, Kristina, and Devon Ewing; his great-grandchildren, Caroline, Frances, Mary Hayes Sampson, Austin Ewing, and Luke Ewing; his sister, Jeannine Ewing; his stepdaughter, Denise Cantrell and husband Robert; his step granddaughter, Andrea Cantrell; along with numerous other relatives and a host of friends.
