Jackson A. Cunningham, 16, of Lynchburg, went to be with the Lord, on Monday, September 27, 2021. Jack was born on April 19, 2005, in Lynchburg, a son of Gregory S. Cunningham and Heather M. Cunningham.
Jack attended Rustburg High School and was dually enrolled at CVCC. You could always find him on a soccer field whether at Central Virginia United Soccer or Rustburg High School. 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. He was predeceased by grandfather, Robert "Bob" Mahanes and uncle, Matthew Cunningham.
The family will receive friends from 5 until 7 p.m. Saturday, October 2, 2021, at Tharp Funeral Home, Lynchburg.
A Celebration of Jack's Life will be held 2 p.m. Sunday, October 3, 2021, at the Rustburg High School Football Stadium with Pastor Mike Miller officiating.

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.
