Jack Durham Colvin

Jack grew up in Locust Grove, Ga, the younger son of the late Henry M Colvin, Sr. and Tommie L (Smith) Colvin.

On August 18, 2024, Jack was reunited in Heaven with his parents and nephew, Henry (Hank) Colvin III, after his long battle with pancreatic cancer.

Jack’s personality was key to his success, starting with his first job as Personnel Manager of JC Penny Outlet to his time with Delta Airlines and later Avis Rent-A-Car.

Jack enjoyed spending time working in the yard, riding his tractor, going to the beach, and traveling.

Jack is survived by his beloved wife of 40 years, Dianne (Walters) Colvin, his brother, Henry M Colvin Jr, wife, Claudia and his nephew David. His memory also lives on through his mother-in-law, Lenora A Walters, brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law Travis and Juanita Owensby, Johnny and Annette Cheek and Tracy and Sharon Walters.
