Terry “Fats” Jack grew up on Carry The Kettle First Nation and worked in many different fields throughout his life. His first job was with Native Services at Regina General Hospital, a milestone that required his mom to open a Fat Cat account for him. Over the years he worked in construction, security and roofing, always putting in hard work and dedication. Fats loved having friends over, playing dice and cards and true to his nature he was always determined to win. He had a competitive spirit, knowing exactly how to get what he wanted (which usually meant winning of course). His infectious smile and signature laugh with is big “gyeaaaaah” could light up any room. From a young age Fats showed his entrepreneurial side, famously selling “Charlie Brown” Christmas trees to his siblings. He had a deep love for hunting, was known for his teasing nature and everyone he knew had a nickname from him. Above all, Fats was family oriented. He loved his family deeply and was deeply loved in return. His greatest pride and joys were Carson, Kayleigh, Kalleigh and his grandson Kendric.

Fats will be forever missed but his laughter, love and larger than life presence will live on in the hearts of those who knew him.
