Fort Bend Herald, September 10, 2020:
On September 7, 2020 at 12:45 p.m. our father/husband, Arthur Lee Jan, went to be with the Lord. At that time, he was 74 years old. His birthday was March 14, 1946.
Art graduated from Lamar Consolidated High School in 1964. He then attended WCJC for 2 years before he was drafted to the U.S. Army in 1968. He served his country in Vietnam for 24 months. Before he was deployed, he married Linda Marie Meuth, his high school sweetheart, on June 17, 1967 (53 years). While serving his country, he received several honors which included the Purple Heart. After returning, he started his 31-year career with the U.S. Postal Service until he retired in 2001.
Art was blessed with three children, Arthur Lee Jan Jr. (Lee) and wife, Patti, daughter, Shelley (Jan) Wendt and husband, Wade, Nathan Jan and wife, Marissa. Along with kids, he is survived by his 7 grandkids, Kirby Jan, Coleman Jan, Madison Jan, Mitchell Wendt, Nolan Wendt, Alexis Jan, and Tayton Jan. Art considered his grandkids one of the greatest blessings of his life. Along with kids and grandkids, Art is survived by brother, Alvin Frank Jan Jr.; sister, Faye Jan; and many other extended family members that he loved dearly.
