Jack Button Obituary
Jack was preceded in death by his mother Elaine Westman and his father Jack Button, Sr. Jack is survived by his two sons, Andy and Robin Button; stepfather Ken Westman of Winthrop, WA; sister Cindy (Les) Putman of Goldbar, WA; and twin sisters Candy (Dan) LaRoche of East Wenatchee, WA and Wendy (Don) Lundine of Omak, WA and numerous extended family members. If Jack could say one last thing, we think he would want to pass on this message: "laugh, dance, and grab the bull by the horns." A remembrance of his life will be held at the Islander Lodge at Big Lake, on Saturday August 27th at 4:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Cancer Society or the Loup Loup Ski Education Foundation PO Box 768 Okanogan WA 98840.

Jack was greatly loved by his family and co-workers. He was such a part of CRI, He was always present at important jobs. He meant a lot to me. I have known him for over 30 years. I pray for him, and for his family, who I know miss him greatly.

As I read the entries posted about you Jack I recall some fond memories. I remember when you were just a little kid called Beaver that my brother Jim was best friends with. Flash forward to 1968 when I married your sister, you were the mischievous younger brother. Never mean, just fun-loving. I recall the time you wrecked your folks pick-up, the flying snomobiles, the fishing in the Methow. I watched you grow into a good man and father. You were a true patriot and we enjoyed talking politics, I will miss all of that and especially you're beaming smile.

Jack, I met you about 30 years ago in Big Lake. I will always have fond memories of the old softball days, you always made everyone laugh. Was so nice to run into you a few years ago on the slope. I won't forget you.

Jack, I'd met you at the Islander a handful of times, and you were the happiest, most friendly and fun person I think I've ever met. You were a total joy to be around and I was always so glad to see you when I walked in. I will miss seeing you dance and laugh.
