Jack was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Lee Young Vosse, with whom he shared countless adventures and an enduring love.

Jack dedicated over six decades of volunteer service to St. Jude Children's Hospital. Beginning his volunteer work in the 10th grade, his tireless contributions supported the hospital's mission and positively impacted thousands of children and families over the years.

His devotion to faith and Century Church inspired many around him. Jack faithfully served on the Century Leadership Team, Finance Team, Trustees Team, Hospitality Team, Missions Team, Special Events, and in the Church Office—doing anything he could to move the mission of Century Church forward into the future.

Reflecting on his life's work, Jack once remarked, "I have had the opportunity to help build a company, a non-profit, and now a church for Jesus." His exemplary spirit of service, encouragement, and love left an indelible mark on all who knew him.
