Jack rest in peace my friend. We grew up together at Fords Chapel Baptist Church, and Gregory Grade School. Then we did a Wheat Harvest together. My what some memories we shared, mostly good ones but a few not so good ones. Well my older than me friend we will meet up and enjoy eternity.
Jack was always so sweet to my family when we attended Southwest Baptist. He always had a warm, kind smile to share.
Jack, oh my goodness…so many memories. I guess some of my first memories of you were when you were a teenager. You would pay me a quarter to iron your jeans and shirt so you would look good on a Saturday night. You would comb that hair and get it looking just right. And oh those fast cars…every time you came home from St. Louis you made sure you took Steve an I for a ride. We loved you so much big brother. I miss you and I know where you are…you just changed addresses. I’ll be seeing you…Love, your little sis.❤️
We are sorry for your loss but glad that Jack is in heaven and has no more pain or suffering. Jack was a great guy, faithful, loved the Lord and lived for Him. We will miss him.
This has been sad news.I never spent any time with my brother in law, but I know he cared for my sister. Be at peace . Mike
