Lieutenant Colonel Jack C. Runyan

Jack (Mr. Runyan) played a significant role in my success at Liberty High School. I moved to Colorado Springs when I was a junior in high school, which could have been a distressing time to move in an adolescent's life. Jack encouraged me to run for student council, persuaded me to try out for the dance team (POMS) and he even taught me pre-calculus one-on-one when the class wasn't offered during my schedule. Jack had a passionate and beautiful spirit that inspired all the lives he touched. ...

Our prayers are with your family as you deal with your loss. Greg and Anita Heisig in Madison Wisconsin.

Coach Runyan was my basketball coach at Liberty High School. He was so fun, inspirational, and an all around great person. I will never forget the trips to Wyoming for camp with him, he always was so excited and new how to make everyone laugh! My thoughts and prayers are with his family. He will always be remembered!

My condolences to the Runyan family. I was fortunate enough to have Mr Runyan for math at Air Academy Junior High in the early '80's. He was a wonderful teacher and great man who touched so many lives. He actually made geometry fun! We all loved him. God bless your family!

I had Mr. Runyon as a teacher at Air Academy Jr. High. We all loved him! What I remember most is him teaching us how to solve geometry problems. He set up this chart and it said "garbage in" and "garbage out" :) As kid I just adored him and as an adult I can look back and see what an amazing man he was. Rest in peace Mr. Runyon and my deepest sympathy to the family.
