Jack was born in British Columbia later moving to Calgary, AB where he dedicated five years serving our country. Jack loved hunting, dancing and the game of hockey. Everyone who know him saw that Jack had a heart of gold. He was a giving man, who would give the shirt off his back to anyone. He would feed the hungry just out of the kindness of his heart never expecting anything in return. He loved being surrounded by his friends and family and was always looking for a laugh. He was a good father, loving grandpa, and a giving friend. Jack was a prime example of how we should have faith and treat others. Jack was admired by many and always offered advice to those that needed it. He was fondly nicknamed “The Preacher” as he was an endless wealth of knowledge. Jack would want you to always remember the good times and not dwell on his departure; For he would say its only temporary and we will one day meet again.
