Jack was an inspiration to all that had the pleasure of knowing him. He was loved and respected by so many. He was a generous man who would give the shirt off of his back to anyone who needed it. He never met a stranger.
Jack lived more lives than most of us live in one lifetime. He had a true zest for life. He was successful in most everything that he tried. From his Gospel music career to Kentucky Fried Chicken, hunting and fishing, you name it - he gave 110%, 110% of the time. But to those who knew him best, the two most important things to him in life were his family and honoring the Lord.
His family does not want to look at this as a life lost, but instead a life that was lived to the absolute fullest. "We will not mourn him, we will celebrate him."
Pallbearers will be Terry Lynn Adams, Chad Englebert, James Drew, Bart Marshall, Jaxon Marshall and Matthew Sauceman.
Honorary pallbearers are Ms. Emma Robinson "Ms. Feel Good", Lyn Davis, staff of Amedisys Home Health, Dr. Reynolds, Karen Banks, and their staff, employees of Jack Marshall Foods and KFC, Charles Yates, Calvin Newton and family, The Blackwood Family, Georgia Mae Horton Travis family, Sam Lawler, Wayne and Becky Guy, Owen Skinner, Dr. Art Otero, Beckham Palmer, Wayne Atcheson and John Hall.
