John David "Jack" Shockley, age 24, of Indianapolis, Indiana passed away on Wednesday, August 12, 2020. Jack was born April 25, 1996 in Indianapolis, Indiana. Jack graduated from Bishop Chatard High School (2014) and Indiana University (2018) and was working at Green Bean Delivery as a valued and well-loved employee. He was known by friends to be a rascal who resisted all things trendy, especially in the way he dressed. He was blessed with a sharp wit, an old soul, and the beginnings of deep wisdom. Jack was a member of Christ the King Catholic Church, and was named after St. John of the Cross, whose writings inspired him. As much as he enjoyed the company of his beautiful friends, he also took time to himself to think, read, and write. Jack was thoughtful, generous, and kind, with a heart for the poor and disadvantaged. Everybody doesn't like somebody, but nobody didn't like Jack.
Jack is survived by parents, Steve and Cheryl Shockley; sister, Grace Liegibel (Brandon); brother, Peter Shockley; grandmother, Evelyn Gray; and nephew, Owen Liegibel.
Jack was preceded in death by his grandfather, David Gray; grandfather, Quentin Shockley; and grandmother, Roberta Shockley.
