Jack C. Skaggs

I miss Jack a lot. He was a great man and he treated me more like a brother than a Brother in law. I love you Jack.

My father W.O. "Jute" Skaggs and Jacks brother was married for 45 years to my mother Marie Skaggs. Dad always talked so highly of Jack. He admired him and looked up to him all his life. I remember traveling from Calif to visit Jack and Helen in Bosier City. They always made us feel welcome and we loved Uncle Jack. Thank you for writing such a beautiful tribute of his life. I will read it to my mother. We are sorry for his passing and I know he will be missed Joy & Gary Kenan

Jack & Annette and all of Mr. Jack's family, I am so truly sorry for your loss. Mr. Jack was an inspiration to all who met him. He was honest and you always knew where you stood with him, which made you love him more. Concentrate on all the good memories and how he touched so many lives.

Dear Jack & Family,

I regret learning of your Dad's passing away. I let Erin know as she and Jill are nearly life long friends. If that's the Goodwill in W. Carroll Ph., your Dad and mine were born two weeks and 15 miles apart. Please accept our condolences.

Sincerely,
Joe R. White, Jr.

I do not know any member of the Skaggs family, but I was so touched by this obituary that I feel compelled to write. It was so well-written I felt as if I had known him. For me, it wove his life into the tapestry of North Louisiana history since the 1920s. It painted a wonderful picture of a true American Hero and an outstanding member of the "Greatest Generation". May God Bless your family.

Jack was my Brother-in-Law. He welcomed me into the family and made me feel like I was one of them. He was a kind, decent and considerate man. He live a good long life and I believe he is with Jesus because of his faith. I'm glad he is with Jesus but I will miss him greatly. I loved Jack and I will never forget him.

May God comfort and bless all of the Skaggs families.

The Final Salute

“Brothers in Arms”, Military men and women down through the centuries, have traditionally exchanged “Hand Salutes” as a sign of recognition and as a way to render courtesy and respect one to another.

This “Hand Salute” is the last that we shall render to Jack C. Skaggs our “Brother-in-Arms”. To his family it symbolizes the love and respect that we have for Jack. And to Jack it is rendered as a symbol of honor and gratitude to thank him for the...
