He was a member of Calvary United Methodist Church. He was a quiet, gentle soul that loved his family, and playing Xbox with his friends.

In addition to his parents, he is survived by a brother, Walker Cunningham; a sister, Abby Cunningham; grandparents, Pete and Barbara Cunningham; grandmother, Martha Mahanes; uncle, Nate Mahanes (Becca); and aunt, Jennifer Mahanes.

As I sit here looking at the obituary, I remember little jack sitting on the kiddy sit at my beauty shop telling his mom he didn´t, need a hair cut. He grew to be a good looking young man. He is in Jesus arms now.
