Jack Benny Lynn
A spitting image of Doolittle with his blonde hair and blue eyes, Jack Benny was born on December 7, 1949. He was the couple’s second child and first son together. Unlike Loretta and Betty Sue, Jack never pursued a career in music. Instead, he dedicated his time working in the family ranch and grew up to become a talented blacksmith and a competent horse trainer and horseback rider.
Shockingly, he died on July 5, 1984, after he struck his head and drowned three miles from his home in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee. According to reports, he was trying to ford the Duck River on his horse when the accident happened. Loretta was receiving care from exhaustion during her road tour when Jack died, and she was only informed of her son’s death the next day. Jack was survived by his second wife, Barbara, and their daughter. He also had two daughters from his previous marriage with his high school sweetheart Pat.
