Jack Curtis Savage, beloved son, brother, uncle, and friend, passed away at home surrounded by his loving family on May 25, 2020 at the age of 26 after a hard five-year battle with Ewing sarcoma. He was born in San Diego, California on February 9, 1994 to Jenny Savage and Jeff Savage. He grew up in Houston, Texas and attended Roberts Elementary, Lanier Middle School, and Lamar High School. He graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Advertising from The University of Texas at Austin.
Jack had a vibrant childhood growing up in the Boulevard Oaks area of Houston. He collected new and lasting friendships at each school he attended. He played baseball with West University Little League, and football with SFL and for the Lanier and Lamar football teams. He traveled all over the world with his mother and sister - he SCUBA dived, rode rides at Disneyland, toured the historical sites of Europe and the Middle East, and was an expert snow skier. He was a member of the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity at UT, and was an excellent student. He created his own iPhone app, Emoji Bodiez, while undergoing treatment for his cancer. As a young entrepreneur, he expanded his company to create T-shirts and adaptive medical wear. His favorite pastimes included going out with his friends, hanging out at home with his family and his dog, playing video games, riding his scooter, visiting the Houston Zoo, and eating great food. He was fortunate to enjoy a family ski trip to Winter Park, CO in March, and spend a joyous evening laughing with a large group of his closest friends one week before his death.
