I did not know Jack, but I know his brother, Joe. I am very sad to hear of the families loss and pray for God's peace and comfort to surround then during this time of great sorrow. While those who love and miss Jack will grieve their loss, surely the angels in Heaven are rejoicing at their gain of remarkable soul.

"But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus."
Thessalonians 4:13-14 NKJV

May your Memories help to Comfort you and May Almighty God's Promises give you Hope during your time of sorrow. (John 11:33-44)
