Jack was born on July 11, 1932, to Larry and Lydia. He lived his entire life in Rocky Mount, enjoying a peaceful rural life in Virginia. One of his favorite things to do was to work on his farm and enjoy the outdoors by taking walks around his property. He especially loved taking care of and tending to his cows.

When he wasn’t working on the farm, Jack dedicated thirty-eight years of service to the Department of Transportation. A devout Christian, he was baptized in 1961 and remained committed to his faith throughout his life. He was a member of Sandy Ridge Baptist Church, where he attended regularly and nurtured a strong relationship with God.

Jack will be remembered for his hard-working attitude and the life lessons he taught his children.
