Dr. Quentin Douglas JACKS

JACKS, Dr. Quentin Douglas February 16th 1917 - June 6th 2011Early Monday morning Quentin took his leave from this world. He had enjoyed more than 94 years on this earth and his many friends and beloved family miss him greatly. Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Quentin wanted to be a doctor from the time he was a young child. His desire to help others stayed with him his entire life and to do so he used his education and resources to the fullest. As a specialist in Ear, Nose and Throat medicine and a respected surgeon, he restored hearing and health to countless patients. As a volunteer in many capacities over the years, he provided additional help to others. As a dedicated Christian, he devoted himself to his God and his church. As a Naval doctor at sea, he served during World War II. As a father and a husband, he loved and cherished his wife Marion and his five sons, Terence, Ronald, Bradley, Craig, and Scott and his grand-children, Carl, Jesse, Dave, Erica, Holly, Greer, Tazmine, and Marisa and he was proud of his two great-grandsons, Ryze and Jaden. As a brother, he loved and helped care for his sister-in-law, Helen Melvin. As a brother, he loved his sister, Yvonne, his brothers, Donald and Milton, and was a beloved uncle to their children. As a father-in-law, he loved and guided the mothers of his grand-children and the wives and companions of his sons, Patty-Anne, Susan, Christine, Maggie, Suzanne, Anita, Bernadette, Diane, Diane and Carol. As a companion, he respected and cared deeply for his long-time friend, Shirley Simms. His contributions to this world are too great to be enumerated here, nor did he wish them to be, but suffice it to say that his parting is a loss beyond words and he will be remembered by those he left behind for the rest of their days. He will be greeted on the other side by those who predeceased him: his parents, Mary Chase and Douglas Stonewall Jacks, his wife, Marion, her sister, Helen, his brothers, Don and Milt and many of his friends. A Funeral Service will be held on June 29th at 3pm at Shaughnessy Heights United Church 1550 West 33rd Avenue, Vancouver. Celebration of Life to follow at 5pm at The Arbutus Club 2001 Nanton Avenue, Vancouver.
