Jack E. Faler

Our dearly beloved son, brother, grandson, cousin and friend, Jack Faler peacefully departed our world and was carried home by his Lord and Savior, Jesus. Jack was born to Paul (Woodie) and Kelley Faler on November 19, 2001 in Indianapolis. He is the younger to his brother and best friend, Adam.

Jack spent 13 years in school, but he would tell you his hands, life experiences and love for the outdoors provided his primary education. If it had wheels, he could ride it. If it was mechanical, he understood it. If it had an engine he could take it apart and put it back together.

Jack also had a natural cadence with, and a love for, horses. After his introduction to horses on his grandparent’s farm, he spent 5 years in Marion County 4H competing in Western Riding and Horse Judging. Ultimately he was honored to be on the 4H Judging Team to earn Quarter Horse Congress National Hippology “Top 5 Champions” with the Marion County team.

Hunting was another passion for Jack. He enjoyed many a day hunting in the mountains of Idaho, the hills of Kentucky and Tennessee, and the waters of Wawasee in Syracuse, Indiana with his father, brother, grandfathers, uncles, cousins and friends. He never turned down the chance to wake up at 4:00 am in the freezing cold and dark of night to sit for hours in a blind and watch the beauty of God's creation awaken around him.

To say Jack was a hard worker was an understatement. He was up early and gave it his all for 6 years with Green Key Lawn and Landscape where he learned from the best how to run a business and take care of clients professionally. Eventually, he formed his own business, Elevated Edge, with his sights set on building houses. He was thriving in Florida and doing what he enjoyed most - assisting with the build on one of the largest residential homes in Fort Myers. He approached and completed each project with great skill.

Jack's lifelong love was lake Wawasee. He enjoyed everything about it - swimming and sailing, skiing, tubing, turtle and frog hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, and especially hanging out at the sandbar with his friends. He looked forward to returning to Syracuse to live and work with his friends and family.

Jack was a bold and confident young man who crafted his own drum and danced to his own beat. He would look you in the eye, firmly shake your hand, and always have your back. He was a compassionate, caring, adventurous, and loyal friend. He was always quick to help a neighbor or friend in need.

Jack will be greatly missed by his Grandparents, Rosemary Johnson, Ronald Johnson; Paul Faler; and Steve and Carrell Mullins. His Aunts, Uncles and cousins, Mike, Teri, Christopher and Natalie Johnson; Tim, Nancy, Emily and Andy Briggs; Dan, Karen, Kevin, and Lucy Courtney; Carrie and Jarrod Mudd; Nick Haycraft; and Daniel, Natasha, Wailani, Leila and Freyja Faler.

As you think of and remember Jack for the rest of your life, know this: Jack is smiling and happy. Jack is not brokenhearted, he is content, and he is at peace. He is close by and wants you to take comfort in that. Take time to mourn Jack now, shed tears, tell stories, and cherish your happy memories. But go on to live your life with confidence and compassion and be happy that you are better for having known him. He is part of us all – the part we all will remember, the part that makes you smile every time you do.

Thanks be to God we had our time with him.
