Mr. Perez enjoyed attending and serving in the Baptist church. He was a generous giver to the church and other organizations. He taught Kindergarten Sunday School for over 20 years. All the children loved Mr. Jack. He loved to sing in the church choir too.

He provided selflessly for his family.

In his spare time he enjoyed collecting fun hats and t-shirts. He was the O. G. of Dad Jokes. His heart was most satisfied slalom water-skiing on a family boating day. He loved taking his family on vacation every Summer to Mount Hermon Family Camp and enjoying the sing-a-longs and s’mores together by the Victory Circle campfire. His ultimate thrill was a ride or maybe even two in a row on the Giant Dipper wooden rollercoaster at Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk.

Jack M. Perez was a sweet soul who loved people, loved life, and loved his Savior, Jesus Christ.
