Jack was devoted to his family and friends. He was kind-hearted, dedicated, hard working, and always put the needs of his family and others ahead of his own. Jack is known for his compassionate nature, giving spirit, and willingness to better the lives of those around him. As a follower of Christ in his home, church, and everyday life, his caring personality brought joy to everyone he encountered. He also touched the lives of many throughout his years as a mentor to those in the workplace. He will be dearly missed, though his memory will live on in the hearts of his family, friends, and all those who were honored to have the privilege of knowing him.
