Jack was known for his kindness, sweet spirit and the love of his Lord and Church. He spent many years as a deacon at Broadmoor Baptist Church and even more years teaching 9-year-olds in Sunday School. He was a master at photography and took great pride in his abilities to get the perfect picture for family and friends. He loved spending time on the lake and taught countless people to water ski over the years. He loved working in his yard and being outside, just enjoying beautiful days.

The family suggests memorials may be made to Broadmoor Baptist Church, 4110 Youree Drive, Shreveport, LA 71105 or the charity of the donor’s choice.
