Tomorrow is the 2-year anniversary of my mom's death and next week, the 1-year anniversary of Jack's... two of the best people to ever walk this earth. Heaven is a better place with them there. You are missed.

I think of Jack often and greatly miss his friendship. I can only imagine the loss that his family feels. I will continue to hold them in my prayers.

It has been 6 months since we lost Jack, and not a day goes by that I do not think of his friendship and the love that he shared with so many. While I never had the opportunity to meet you or Beau, Jack spoke of you often. The Journey that we were both on took different paths. Words can never express the loss. We are together in the Fellowship of the Spirit, May God keep you and bless you.

Patty and I recently heard about Jack's passing and were heartbroken. We knew Jack as a KA brother and I can tell you that the room lit up when Jack came in, the group was energized and many laughs were shared...what a brother. I pray God will bless and comfort Jack's family and friends.

I am deeply saddened by Jack's passing. I first met Jack at a Parker Hydraulic application engineering course in Cleveland and stayed in touch with him over these many years. When I lived in Birmingham I shared many lunches at the Florida Grill with Jack. I always enjoyed his conversation and laughter. My deepest sympathy goes out to Sharon and Beau.

My condolences to Sharon, Beau and all of Jack's family. Jack's family, that is a good thought, when Jack was around he made it seem as if everyone were part of his family. I am truly saddened to hear of his passing. The world was a better place with Jack Carter in it. We will just have to get along with the guidance he provided on how to live a good life with the simplest of things.

May God give you comfort during this difficult time. Jack was a beautiful soul. I have known him since I was a teenager. I reconnected with him several years ago due to an illness we both have. He was such a good giving person. He was always there to help someone in need. I have many examples that I can't name them here. He will be missed very much by so many people.

Words can not express my sadness of the loss of Jack. He always smiled, cheered others on and spoke so highly of Sharon and son Beau. We met at Auburn but would run into each other in Bham or Auburn about every 3 months. It was always full of laughs, hugs,updates on his fmaily and mutual friends. I will miss him. I will keep the whole family in my prayers.

Jack was an amazing man, a mentor, a friend and a leader. He was never unwilling to lend a hand. I knew him very well, but I know many new him much better. I am sure that I am among the many who are thankful to Jack for all he did to make our lives better. I am saddened by this news and hurting for his family as well as myself. Love you Jack, Wheat Barley Brother!

All my prayers and love go to Sharon Bo and the rest of his family and friends these are tuff times but I promise God will be there.

We got to know Jack when our two boys were in Boy Scouts. He was always so warm and welcoming with a big smile and ready laugh. We often saw him at AU functions and when our oldest son was a cheerleader at AU he said that Jack always went out of his way to speak to him at AU events. He made a big impression on lots of young men and their families. His loss will be felt deeply. Our prayers are with you.

Jack was a great Auburn man. Since I have known him, his passion for AU and KA were evident, and even more than that - his love of his family. I will miss his big smile, his humor, and his way of making anyone he came in contact with feel great. I really admired him.

Dear Sharon and Beau,
No words can adequately express my sincere sorrow over the loss of your wonderful husband and father. He was so proud of both of you , never failing to catch me up on your accomplishments whenever our paths would cross. Some of my favorite memories are of the many fun times we all enjoyed at the KA house. Jack was truly blessed with the rare ability to make everyone whose lives he touched feel special. I am thankful he touched mine.

I was a Sigma Nu @ Auburn when Jack was a KA. I am now one of the Sigma Nu advisers and would see him @ meetings , get emails , and get phone calls from him. A really good man.
On behalf of myself , Sigma Nu and the Auburn fraternity advisers , I want the family to know he will be missed by many people.

A room lit up when Jack came in, a group was energized by him, and many laughs were shared when Jack was included…
His death brings as much sadness to those of us who knew him, as his life brought us much joy.
His memory leaves a great big smile on our face.
As an Auburn KA little sister and a Dawson Member I was blessed to enjoy Jack for many years.
Sharon and Beau, I send my deepest sympathy to you both of you.

Jack was one of the finest men I have ever known. It is strange -- I have not seen him for three or four years, but just in the past two weeks I was thinking of him, particularly about his love for mountain climbing. Jack will be missed by all.

Jack was my brother x 2. While I only knew him for about 15 years, from the day we met, it was as if I had known him my whole life. We shared a passion for our beloved Kappa Alpha Order and I assisted Jack in resuming his journey in Freemasonry. He was a loyal and steadfast friend and never waivered in his genuine care for others. Every call brightened my day and I will miss talking SEC football with him. He would say, "love you, old man" as he signed off, despite the fact that I was 7 years younger. War Eagle, Jack, my brother faithful.

I knew Jack through our work in Kappa Alpha and as a Mason. We were friends for about 15 years. He was one of the good guys. One of the VERY good guys. I shall miss him. And I shall miss his calls every six months or so to me as the "old man" since I AM at least a dozen years his senior. I have lost a true friend.

May God be with you and your family in this time of sorrow. Rest in peace, Jack. I'll never forget that cup of hot chocolate you got me at Ensley-Bessemer game played in a torrential rainstorm. You were just that kind of guy.
