Jack Wayne Barrett, 83, of Tanner Williams, Alabama, passed away on Monday, December 11, 2017. Born in Selma, Alabama to James and Minnie Barrett. Right out of high school, Jack made the decision to join the military and spent the next 26 years defending his country. At retirement, he was classified as a Senior Master Sargent. Jack was a very passionate man who enjoyed military life, along with his bride of 62 years. After retirement from the Air Force, Jack went to work again for a Telecommunications company. He spent 18 years there, starting as a Technician and retired as an Operations Manager. In his spare time, Jack enjoyed working in his workshop, full of many personalized tools - that contained welded initials on the side of each one.
