Jack Ruley

Jack passed away at the age of sixty-nine. He was married to his wife, Michelle, for almost thirty-one years. They had two beautiful children together, Jacob and Victoria. Jack worked in a steel factory as a journeyman and was a retail store manager. He was always so proud of ordering a brand new corvette at the age of twenty-one. He left Ohio and moved to Florida to enjoy the beautiful weather. He retired to raise his children and be a stay-at-home Dad. One-hundred percent of his time was devoted to his family. Jack was always active doing projects around the house, working out, straddling trees with a chainsaw, going on nine mile bike rides, and perfecting the family’s property. He loved floating in the pool listening to his playlist, riding his dirt bike, walking the dogs, and going to the beach. He was fascinated with ancient civilizations and Egypt. He always wanted to visit Egypt. His children describe him as a funny Dad, good cook, a loving father, and someone that was always there for them. He was a role model for productivity- he always had a project he was working on. He adored his wife and children, and they adored him. He passed away after a day of doing what he loved-working on the property and enjoying the pool. Words can’t describe the void his family feels. Jack was a beautiful man. He is survived by his two children, Jacob and Victoria, his four brothers- Jim, Jerry, Gary, and Bill, and one sister, Karen. God had other plans for Jack and needed him to return home. Even though his family doesn’t understand why, we will continue his legacy and live for him. We want to make him proud. He is watching down on us and smiling. We love you Jack and miss you! Hugs and Kisses till we meet again !
