Known for his quick wit and sharp tongue, Jack grew up labeled as the fun-loving, brilliant kid in class, who could slice and dice you with his words leaving you and those around you doubled over in spontaneous bouts of laughter.

Even the adults who found themselves on the receiving end of his jokes couldn’t help but love and appreciate the sheer genius level comedic wit out of such a young boy. His mischievous grin and soft chuckle behind his clever statements were the charm that drew others to him. Everyone has a Jack story because he made life fun.
