I would be remiss if I didn’t mention this character strength of uncle Jack that impacted me most. He was generous to a fault. He was willing to  help and contribute to the well being of those who needed assistance. Essentially, he was open, and giving in all ways possible, not just financially but actively listening, offering support, and dedicating personal time to assist others. He truly encompassed the  complete spirit  of generosity.

Our condolences to the entire Evelyn Family, so sorry for your loss.  Praying the Lord will give you all much comfort during this time.  
Please do remember that the shared  memories of Carl will live in your hearts for your lifetime, until we all meet again in Glory, in Jesus Holy Name,  Amen. 
 Much love from Richard & Yvonne Locke Eastwood & family.  Orlando,  FL. 🙏🏽🛐💞

A grandfather is like a plant, it needs light,  water  and air to breathe. As a plant grows each little  stem develops and so does the family.  They are both nurture with love and when they get sick they can be revise or they wither and die. In your precious grandfather's case he chose to rest in peace,  but he will always live in your heart. May God continues to protect your family as you celebrate his life in happiness and joy. Loving you all from a distance but in my heart.  God Bless this family.

We want to send our deepest condolences to the family and friends of your beloved. Why his passing has filled you with grief, please know that this is not a loss. He’s loved you for 90+ years and will continue to love you for the rest of your life. 
Sending our love,
~Your Maryland Family

Uncle Jack from my eyes: frank, kind, matter-of-fact, witty, wise, resolute, are just a few adjectives to describe this uncle.  
I remember some 30 odd years ago on one of his many visits to Jamaica, he gifted me $100.  Maybe the following year I visited him in the US and told him I had used the money to enrol in a career development course. He expressed surprise that I had not used it frivolously. He further said that was the best $100 he had ever spent.  I will never forget that feeling of validation and prideI felt at his words.
Goodbyes only exist for those who love with their eyes; there is no separation for those who love with heart and soul. SIP Uncle Jack - 'til we meet again.  - Siddy.

Condolences to the entire family. Prayers.

My heart goes out to you and your family during this difficult time. Your father's legacy of love and strength clearly lives on through you. Please know that my thoughts are with you, and I’m here for anything you may need.

I am so sorry for your loss.  I will be praying for all Mr. Evelyn's loved one's strength.

Hi everyone I know you may not know me. My name is Maureen (Jackie)Evelyn Scott and Jack is my dad who I never got to know even though I wanted to so badly for myself and his grandchildren. I live in Canada and have 3 grown kids. My mom told me who he was and spoke of him with kind words always. When I was young people always said I looked like my mom and she sometimes say to me you look like your dad and I was confused. Now I see him I must say agree with mom! Nevertheless God purposed me to and I loved him from a distance. I am processing the news of his passing surprisingly with tears as I never expected to respond in this way.  So I just want to say to you while you hear this from heaven I LOVE YOU ❤️

I am writing on behalf of my self and my father Ralph who is now the remaining child from my Grandmother. I have always known I had aunts uncles and cousins even though I was isolated from them in Uk .  My father always told me about them and assured me that I was loved even across so many miles .

I was 16 when I first met uncle Jack and it was love at first sight . He was in his policeman’s uniform and looked very dashing. I knew uncle victor very well as he was in England and adored him and I felt the same affinity for Jack . I didn’t see him after returning home until 1987 when I visited New York and was able to meet up with him and uncle Teddy and despite the long gap we immediately connected . Since then we have met up a few times in Jamaica . 

What has been so great however is that we have been able to connect via video link on WhatsApp where him and dad have not only been able to talk but to see each other . It was lovely to hear them chat . Uncle Jack and I shared a  joke that he was my favourite uncle above Victor and I was number 1 niece. I am sure he had said that to all his nieces but I enjoyed hearing it .

Uncle Jack …I will miss our WhatsApp chats , seeing you and hearing your great sense of humour .  Dad is deeply saddened by your passing and is aware that at 100 he is now carrying the baton for his siblings who have gone before . I will never forget you and only wish we could have spent more time together. 

With love . We celebrate a life well lived and cherish memories . 

Your niece 
Lesley

I can't even express fully how much Grandpa meant to me. Although I'm heartbroken 💔, I'm so grateful to have had him in my life until he was 93, influencing my own lives journey in so many positive ways. I will miss his laughter, his singing, the many times playing dominoes, his request for my fried dumplings when I'm visiting, his stubbornness, but most of all I will miss his unconditional love. I thank God for blessing me with him for so many many years and his memories will live with me forever 🕊️.

Jack:
Although unseen, unheard you will always be near, still loved, still missed, and held so dear to our hearts. 
It was a real blessing getting to know you.

To my bonus grandpa

Thank you for the unconditional love you've shown your great grandchildren through marriage 💕 I will cherish the memories of finding never-ending golf balls your house and car, even though I never saw you golf. I will cherish seeing you in your crossing guard outfit telling my PreK class that "That's my grandpa." Or becoming a pre-teen girl begging you for your car (even though I didn't know how to drive). I will miss your humor and snores. The smell of your home when it was Thanksgiving or Christmas. Thank you for being my Grandpa Jack since 2001 - Love the 6 month old who crawled on one knee, Brianna

Jackie will definitely be missed. My visits will never be the same. RIP Jack. You lived a good life

My Grandpi ♥️ 
You are the grandfather I didn't know I needed at a pivotal time in my life. Biology could not have made our bond stronger.  I am happy that I have always expressed to you just how much you mean to me. 
I'll take confort in our fond memories, full of lots of laughs and love.
I'll love forever🕊
Kamala.
