Jack’s legacy is the gift of kindness, generosity and love. Jack was only with us for seventeen brief years, but the impact he made on people will last a lifetime.
Jack was not only a kind person, but he was also an authentic individual. Jack had an amazing ability to connect with others. His beautiful blue eyes and his infectious smile are unforgettable. His positive attitude was his strongest character trait. Jack loved and cared deeply and showed Jesus to others by his words and actions. He always put others before himself.
As parents, we had the privilege of loving Jack for seventeen beautiful years. We have always known Jack was special. ​However, it was not until after Jack left to be with Jesus that we are able to fully comprehend how Jack lived his life when he was away from us. The letters and messages we received and continue to receive on how Jack impacted so many lives are a gift that our family will treasure forever.
Jack showcased a high level of humility and integrity. Jack was an honorable young seventeen-year-old who lit up any room he walked into by his selfless actions, and approachable demeanor.
He was a sweet soul that continues to live on through us and others today. We are humbled to be his parents and feel pure gratitude that he touched so many lives and continues to touch many lives today in a powerful and profound way.
Jack was an example of a well-lived life, however very brief. As humans, we often pause, reflect, and wonder how to possess this gift that Jack had. This is what Jack would want you to know. Surrender your heart to Jesus and make Him your Lord and Savior. You will be forever changed if you make the same decision Jack did and then you too will possess this gift that Jack so freely gave to others.
