Jack Arthur Cozad

Jack Arthur Cozad, 83, of Chatom, Alabama, passed away at his home on Tuesday, January 17, 2023. Born in Blount County, Alabama, on November 11, 1939, Mr. Cozad also met the love of his life in Blount County. He and Mrs. Margean were married for 61 years. Not too long after they had married, Mr. Cozad took a job in the transportation industry--he began driving a city bus in Birmingham in 1962 and did so for 30 years before retiring and moving to Chatom.

He then worked for 11 years with Washington County before retiring for a second time. There, he always made the first pot of coffee in the morning before heading off to the local hardware store. Known to those around him for his dry humor and his love of cutting grass, he was also known for helping others.
