Jack Anthony Flowers

Jack Flowers, 76, was unexpectedly taken away by a UFO on July 5, 2026. While the details remain classified, those who knew Jack suspect he was probably making friends with the crew before they left. Born on May 1, 1950, Jack lived a life defined by kindness, integrity, and an unwavering love for his family and friends.

Some people are remembered for the dates that mark the beginning and end of their lives.

Jack Flowers will be remembered for everything that filled the days in between.

Jack grew up on East Broadway in Muskegon with a group of friends who proudly called themselves "The Dog Patch." Those days were filled with adventure, laughter, and friendships that stood the test of time.

He lived like every day was a gift. He believed in showing up for the people he loved, telling the truth even when it wasn't easy, and treating everyone with kindness and respect. He was a straight shooter with a gentle heart, a man who never pretended to be someone he wasn't. What you saw was exactly who he was: genuine, loyal, generous, and deeply caring.

Jack spent much of his working life in manufacturing working at Eagle Ottawa throwing cow hides and at Howmet Aerospace before retiring. He took pride in honest work, providing for his family, and doing every job with dedication and integrity.

Jack had a rare gift for making people feel like family. Whether someone was related by blood or simply crossed paths with him, they often left feeling seen, welcomed, and loved. He celebrated birthdays, remembered the little things that mattered, and had a way of turning ordinary moments into unforgettable adventures.

Family road trips were filled with singing along to the radio, plenty of laughter, and more than a few spontaneous detours just to see where the road might lead. The destination was never as important as the memories made getting there. Camping weekends meant campfires, making s'mores, sharing stories, playing cards, and creating the kind of memories that would be laughed about for years. Whenever someone asked if he'd be there, his familiar reply was, "God willing and the creek don't rise." More often than not, he was. Wherever Jack was, there was usually a story to tell, a smile to share, and room for one more around the fire.

Jack had a way of showing his love through his actions. He was a devoted father, grandfather, family member, friend, neighbor, and mentor. Those who knew Jack often shared stories of how he encouraged them, guided them, stood beside them during difficult times, or simply made them feel they belonged.

Whether he was known as Dad, Papa, Pa, Brother, or Uncle Jack, he embraced each role with the same love, patience, and generosity that defined his life.

He leaves behind stories.

He leaves behind laughter.

He leaves behind traditions.

Most of all, he leaves behind love.

Jack was preceded in death by his parents, Andrew and June Flowers; his beloved wife, Donna "Sammie" Flowers (Traxler); his siblings, Babe Flowers, Kevin Flowers, Bryan Flowers, Gary Flowers, Marvin Flowers, and Connie Johnson; his parents-in-law, Loretta and Ray Traxler; and his sister-in-law, Patty (John) Adams.

He is survived by his siblings, Alice Teal, Linda Stone, Terri (Rick) Otworth, and Donald (Tim Bond) Flowers; his brothers-in-law, Bobby (Bev) Traxler, Earl Traxler, and Ronnie Traxler; his children, Tanya (Jeff) Burel, Jacqueline (David) Perry, Marvin Flowers, and Andrew (Jennifer Crain) Flowers; his grandchildren, Kellie Perry, Danny (Jacqueline) Rust, Christopher (Amanda Solorsano) Colburn, Jordyn (David) Derby, Nicholas Colburn, Skyler Flowers, Braelyn Perry, Kendyl Flowers, Anthony Flowers, Tony Burel, and Xylo Flowers; his cherished great-grandchildren, Journie, Remi, Jackson, Gabriella, Paityn, Elijah, and Isaiah; along with many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends.

Perhaps no words capture Jack better than these:

"Some people aren't your dad by blood, but they love you like one anyway."

That was Jack.
