His parents, and his brother, Doug Rodimer (Rod) Eller, Jr, preceded Jack in death.

Jack was born in Jacksonville, FL on April 9th, 1947 to parents Douglas Rodimer Eller, Sr. and Mary Steeg Eller. He graduated from Bishop Kenny High School in 1966, and graduated from Florida State University in 1972 with a degree in Business Marketing.

The two loves in his life were first and foremost, his family, and of course his beloved Seminoles. Always the life of the party, Jack never met anyone who didn’t fall in love with him upon meeting him. He brought laughter to all who knew him, especially whether telling the joke, or attempting to tell it.

Jack was a past member of Riverside Rotary, a Past President of the Professional & Businessmen’s Association, past member of The Florida Yacht Club, Ye Mystic Revellers and the Jacksonville Seminole Boosters. Probably the greatest organization he belonged to was the group known as the Dirty Dozen, whose lifelong friendships and wonderful families still exists today - and will forever.

He was the hardest worker anyone knew. Always dedicated to every organization he worked with, notably with Florida Rock for 18 years, and Ring Power Corporation for the past 19 years.

Services will be held on Saturday, August 10th at 11:00am at St. Matthews Catholic Church, 1773 Blanding Blvd, Jacksonville, FL 32210. Reception will follow at the church.

In lieu of flowers, the family asked for donations to the ALS Association Florida Chapter www.ALSAFL.org or a charity of your choosing.
