John Prince Markoe

Jack was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, to Francis Anthony and Ruth Eileen (Admire) Markoe. He was the fourth oldest child of seven sons. He attended Georgetown University and received a bachelor's degree from the University of Minnesota.

When Jack moved to Los Angeles, California, he worked for Security Pacific National Bank in the Trust Department. Later, he worked for Union Bank in Los Angeles, where he was promoted to Executive Vice President of the Trust Department. He valued his time as a member of the Pacific Palisades Rotary Club, the Sons of the American Revolution, and the American Legion Newport Harbor Post 291. He was also actively involved at Saint John Neumann Catholic Church as an usher for many years. Throughout his life, Jack enjoyed traveling and vacationing around the United States and across Europe.

Compassion, patience, wit, and optimism are a few of the many qualities Jack personified as a husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and friend.
