FORT WORTH, Texas (April 19, 2009)--The son of Texas socialite Priscilla Davis was found dead on a Fort Worth bench on a December day. His belongings were in bags, sitting on the table, but it was two months later when his family would learn of his death.
By then, Jack Wilborn Jr., 47, had been buried unceremoniously in an unmarked grave in Arlington.
The Tarrant County medical examiner's office found Wilborn died accidentally from a lethal combination of too much alcohol and too much morphine.
Medical examiner Nizam Peerwani said the staff identified his parents, but found that they were dead.
When the office could not find any other living relatives, he was buried, but Jack Wilborn Jr. had an ex-wife, a 21-year-old daughter named Amanda, and a sister, Dee Davis, who lives in Euless.
The medical examiner's office later learned Wilborn's mother gained notoriety as the wife of Cullen Davis, the millionaire oilman who was accused in a deadly shooting rampage in 1976 while the couple was divorcing.
Wilborn's sister, 12-year-old Andrea Wilborn was killed in the shooting.
Cullen Davis was acquitted in the murder of his stepdaughter, Andrea, and no one was ever convicted of the shootings.
The family learned tragedy had struck again in late February.
A counselor for an alcohol rehabilitation center called to check on his progress, but family members had not seen him.
The social worker called again later to say that a database search showed that Jack Wilborn Jr. was dead, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported.
Peerwani maintains that his staff followed procedures, but he has agreed to help pay to have the body exhumed and taken to a funeral home of the family's choice.

I too just learned of Jackie's passing, he and I were pretty close friends in '73 and '74 till my family moved out of Ft. Worth in June of '74. Although it is a little late, I send my condolences out to his daughter ans sister. Jackie was a terriffic guy and I am glad that I had the pleasure to know him. I can confirm the stories that I have read about his generosity, he really took pleasure sharing with others, which was somewhat uncommon for most of the people in our age group at the time.
Omg! I was just going thru my old pictures and found some of my friend Jack. I havent seen him in at least 8yrs so thought I would look him up on facebook. Sadly, it took me to this link. I am just now learning that Jack passed away. Jack was like an older brother to me. I met him when I was 18 and he was in his mid 30's. I have pictures of Jack, his daughter and I out at the movies, the zoo, and main street arts festival. I knew Jack at a point in his life when he had gone down hill and started trying to go back up hill. He really did try. I know I was there. I rememeber walking into his fathers car lot office and seeing the picture of his sister that passed hanging on the back wall be hind his desk. He told me the story and broke down. I spent an Easter Dinner with his family and they were all warm and loving people, so I know where Jack got his big heart from. We remained friends for a long while and then I met a man and fell in love etc..and Jack and I drifted apart as friends do. I was in college, in love and living life. Just wish I could have said goodbye to my "adopted Big Bro" RIP Jack...I know you are truly at peace now.
Oh yeah, & Anonymous is absolutely correct. Although he was obviously a tortured soul, he was such a generous person that I have told stories regarding some of his kind acts to friends that have never even met him. His generousity was that noticable.
