Jack Blake Dillard, Jr.

Jack Blake Dillard Jr., a man with a spirit as bold as the open road, passed away leaving behind a legacy of grit, laughter, and adventure. Jack had a larger-than-life personality—equal parts stubborn and passionate—that made him unforgettable to everyone who knew him. Jack had a deep love for motorcycles and the freedom they represented. Whether he was trading stories and laughs with the guys at Frontline or riding alongside his lifelong friends, Jack was most at home with the wind on his face and the thrill of adventure at his back. In recent years, Jack found joy and comfort spending time with his dear friend Carolyn and was lovingly cared for by Tommy, who remained by his side.

Jack was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Linda Dillard; his precious granddaughter, Maisie Adams; and his parents, Marguerite and Jack Dillard Sr.

He is survived by his devoted stepson, Ryan (Amber), his bonus grandson Elijah, and countless friends and loved ones who will remember his humor, his stubborn streak, and his fearless approach to life.

Jack lived his life on his own terms—full throttle and without hesitation—and he leaves behind a legacy that will continue to inspire stories for years to come. 

A memorial service will be held for Jack at 1:00 PM Thursday, August 14, 2025 at Orchard Hills Church, 6032 Cloverdale Rd, Roanoke, VA 24019. If you still ride and the weather cooperates, please come on your bikes to honor Jack with one last ride.
