Jack was born on February 12, 1938 in Riverside, California to J.P and Velma Aaron.

Jack and Linda welcomed their first three children, Jon Dean, Kristin Rebecca, and James Patrick in Riverside California. After moving to Sylvan Lake, Michigan, the couple welcomed 2 more children, Mary Elizabeth and Jacquelynn Marie. The children remember him as a loving, hard-working, father who encouraged them to also work hard, to love their families and have faith in God.

Papa, which he was known as, adored his 12 grandchildren; Bryttany, Brianna, Billy, Sean, Paige, Aliciya, Thomas, Savannah, Austin, Christopher, Dylan, and Kaitlin; his great-grandchildren; Liam, and Emersyn Grace, plus twins, Flynn and Madelynn Bell, who are on the way.

Jack was an accomplished Industrial Architectural Engineer who designed and maintained several large industrial buildings for General Motors and Rockwell International. He was a talented wood worker who enjoyed building miniature trains, wooden ships, cabinets, home renovations, toys for grandchildren and other projects out of wood. He was a dedicated pet owner, who over the years enjoyed the lives of Tinkerbell, a St. Bernard; Pogo, a Miniature Poodle; Broker, an Irish Setter; several adorable cats; and most recently, Clancy a Golden Retriever; Baleau, an English Bull Mastiff; Apollo, a Black Lab; and Danny Boy a Chocolate Lab.

Daddy/Papa will forever be in our hearts and loving memories.
