Brother Jack was a sweet humble man that loved the Lord and would get so wrapped up in worshipping Him every time we were with him in service. I'm sure going to miss him but he's rejoicing now with the savior he preached so many years about. I'm praying for sister Carlotta and all the church family that the lord will send them a pastor as caring and full of fire that can keep their church growing. We love you all.
My sincere condolences to you Carlotta, your kids, grandkids and extended family. Prayers for comfort and peace in the coming days.

Dear Carlotta, Randy, Scotty and Lori,
I am so saddened to learn of Uncle Jack's passing. He was always so good to look in on mama after daddy passed. Please know that he is no longer suffering and has reunited with Daddy and the rest of his family in heaven. May he rest in peace and God Bless each of you in this time of suffering. Please let me know if I can help in any way.
