I know that I am very late in writing my entry, however, I only became aware of Jack's passing yesterday when my brother Len happened to mention it to me. I knew Jack back in the early 90's when I was living and working in Salt Lake City. He was a fun loving soul, he taught me to golf and got me my first set of clubs, I taught him about rafting in Idaho, and we picked out Bogey together. I had the pleasure of knowing Jesse and the rest of Jack's family, they always made me feel welcome even though I was the cheesehead or cheese whiz as Jack would call me.
It was great to hear that Jack remained involved and engaged in the last sixteen years since I had seen him last, all of the wonderful entries spoke of an honorable man.
My deepest condolences to your family.

Went to HS with Jack. What a kick he was back then. Sounds like he still was. May you find peace and comfort somehow for your loss. Surround yourself around family and friends and there love for you.

I was Jacks dog groomer when he had Boogie and I could tell from the way that he took care of his dog in his old age, he was a very sensitive and caring person. He was always a pleasure when he came in, he gave us some salmon, showed us hunting pictures, and always talked about his son. He would always wave when he drove by on his Harley. The girls at the Dog Stop miss him and we are sorry for your loss. He will be reunited with his old friend Boogie.

Our deepest sympothy to the entire Holt family.
Jack always was a welcome visitor to our company when he stopped in to pick up products for his employer. Everyone in our office was shocked and saddened by the news of his untimely death.
We will keep you all in our prayers and please know that Jack was truly a pleasure to be around.
We will miss him.

I am deeply saddened by the passing of Jack. I hired into Hercules with Jack and spent some time working with him, before transferring to fibers. Jack and I would occasionally run into each other at the Hercules CU or when Jack was making a pick-up from Plant 3, he would stop by for a visit. During recent visits, Jack and I would talk Harleys and how there was nothing like riding a Harley.
My deepest sympathy, thoughts, and prayers are with Jack's family at this time.

Jack,
Even though we have lost touch these past few years I think of you often. I will never forget the day we met...do you remember? It was on a bowling league many years ago, out of the bule you walked up and ask, whare did you get those boots? It's seemed weird to me at the time but after getting to know you I realized it was just who you were. You always had a gift of making a total stranger feel like an instant friend. Please forgive me for not being there to help sent you off, but remember when we meet again I will be expecting you to show me all the good hunting spots.
A friend forever, Tim McIntyre

Jack will be missed greatly. He was always smiling, and had a joke to tell us when he came to visit. As busy as he was he always took the time to visit just a little. We enjoyed working with him and will miss him a lot.

Wow! I really can't beleive it, Jack was so young. Jack will be missed. He was always playing jokes, and his laughter and that smile, and the twinkle in his eyes are unforgettable.
My mom and Dad, My brothers and sisters still bring up memories of the Jack Days. We had so much fun camping and the motorcycle rides were an adventure .
I knew Jack when we all worked at the Valley Fair Four Cienimas. Robyn, Reggie, janis, Cindy, Albert (burto). Curt Fisher And All the the friends he went to school with @ Granger High, Bruce & Laurie, Brett Allen, Bobby Scober,Ron McCann and His dearest friend then Robby Helm, All the football Gang. We all had sooooo much fun in those days.
Jesse, Your dad was defintitly a charator. We all LOVED him. Jack would go hunting all the time and Mary Dean would cook it for us. That was the first time I ever had Duck.
My prayers go out to the whole Holt family, I had some GREAT memories with all of you in our teenage years. Love you Jack.
Your dear friend, Sylvia

Jesse and family
I am so sorry for your loss. Hearing of the news made me think of how i would feel in the same situation of losing my own father, I cant imagine how you feel right now. Although i only met your father a few times, I know just from my association with you that he was someone that you admired and adored. I know your father is not with you physically, but he is still with you and, some day you will be reunited with him. You are a good friend, and although this time is hard, i know that you will pass through this trial because of your character.

Jesse,
I just found out last night of the passing of your father. There are no words that can make the hurt go away but I can tell you that your father was one incredible guy and I will miss him very much. There are few people in this world that can make such an impact on so many people’s lives but your dad was one of them. I only knew your dad for a few years but we had a very close relationship from the first time we met. Jack spoke of you often and would just glow with pride. I know he loved you very much and be assured he will watch over you.
Donnette and family,
I’m deeply sorry for your loss. It was an honor to know Jack and I will miss him very much.
Jack,
I will miss our conversations at Clearfield. We talked about riding together this summer, families and just crazy stuff that I think only you and I would understand. You made everybody a better person, including me. I will miss you very much. I wasn’t done being your friend.

Jack was a dear friend whom I met through my sister-in-law in the late 80's. We had many great times together golfing, pheasant hunting and laughing! I remember the many golf tournaments that Jack put together especially at Mount Ogden.
Jack always had that silly but genuine side to him. I will miss you man.

Jack was the first friend I made when I moved to Salt lake in 1987. He opened his entire life to me. Introducing me to his friends and family. We spent lots of time hunting, golfing and just being friends. I will never forget those times. He allways included me in his fun!! He had a great laugh!! I can still hear him laughing!! When ever I think of my time spent in Salt Lake, I think of Jack and all he gave me. I will miss him.

Jack, What is up DOG!!!
I sure wish I would have know you were not going to make it to the 19th hole, I would have bought you two margaritas, and yes I still would have teased you about not getting a beer.
I got a phone call this morning at 6:40 and it really startled me and saddened me knowing it would not be you. Out of all the phone calls over the years my last one with you I cut short because I let work get in my way, I said I would call you back, but I did not get the time, I thought, I will talk to him Monday!!!.
I will miss, truckers lounge, you harassing the ladies at school lunch, trips to Adidas, the shorts with the smock, the country club, the scoop on plant 1 and most of all your smile when you knew we were getting you a bunch of chrome for the Harley.
You do not realize what you have until it is gone.
I miss you, Rob ,

My husband (Bruce) and I grew up with Jack. He was a great friend and had contagious smile. I lost Bruce and my son in an accident and know the pain when someone is taken from you early. If you should need someone to talk to feel free to call. When I last spoke to Jack his contagious smile and twinkle in his eyes were of how lucky he was to have such a wonderful son. It brought tears to my eyes. I'm so sorry for your lost. Sincerely, Laurie

Jesse & family:
I was so shocked to get the message about the passing of your father. It is hard to find words of condolence appropriate for the loss you must be feeling. I wish that I could be there and give you a hug. May God be with you at this time. I know how much you loved your father and can not imagine the loss you are feeling. If I can help in any way, please give me a call.

We loved sharing time with Jack and Donnette. He was always excited by the next challenge that was around the corner and how quick could he get there to find it. We loved his laughing and joking. He was probably a handful when he was a youth. Some never grow up and loose their excitement for what's ahead.
He knew a lot of things and a lot of people but wasn't boastful of these things. He was, however, boastful about his son, Jesse. Jesse, he was very proud of you and your potential. Carry on with your dreams, for that is one of the things that made him the happiest.
The pleasant memories of him and his impact on your life will carry you through to brighter days. He never lost his exuberance for life.
Jack, THANK YOU for blessing our lives with your presence. You were a bright spot in our lives; we were privileged to have crossed paths with you.

Jesse,
My thoughts are with you and your family. Your dad spoke to me of you often and was so proud to have you as a son! I wish I could have met you. We talked a lot about our sons, because he helped me through some tough times with mine at the time. I would hear from him pretty much on a weekly basis, when he was on plant. He would call to see how things were and to tease me and make me laugh! I will miss him so much! My prayers are with you. Jane Boyce

No words can make the sorrow you feel better, but know that he was a wonderful man who will be truly missed. And remember he will always be with you, watching each one of you every step of the way...and now my dad has one of his best hunting buddy to hang out with!
My deepest sympathies goes out to you at this time and please let me know if there is anything I can do for any of you.

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
