Jack was a good friend and a very kind gentleman. He will be missed amoung all of us fellow guitar players. He was as tasteful a person as he was a guitar player. I will miss my friend who died much too young.
May the Lord bless him and his family as they walk through this difficult time. And, to Jack -- we love you bro -- and may you make beautiful music forever.

I'm one of the many guys who had the opportunity to "pick" some music with Jack. We played and jammed together on multiple occasions. Jack always brought his best smile and best tunes. Myself and the others from the "40 SOMETHIN BAND" are going to miss Jack. We offer our heart felt blessings upon Jack's family and ask Heavenly Father to give comfort at this time.

I can't believe this. I never knew that Jack had been sick. Jack was an awesome young man. I was able to get to know Jack better when he played music with my brother's band at the Forty. Whenever I would run into him anywhere, he was always so kind always asking about us. My husband, Harvy has known Jack & his family for years. We are very sorry to hear of this. Our prayers will be with all of you.
Take care, Harvy & Judy

I went to school with Jack & was a neighborhood friend of Jack & Danny. I heart goes out to his family. Especially to his wife and children. Jack was a funny guy, always had a kind word and a friendly smile.
