John (Jack) Sanders Obituary
It is with great sorrow that we announce after a long and incredible journey, the passing of John (Jack) Frederick Sanders, age 79. He joined his parents, Donald and Pat Sanders, in heaven on February 23, 2023. He passed away surrounded with love from his wife and daughters.
Jack was born on September 3, 1943. He graduated Southwest High School in 1961 after building a great group of friends and meeting his future wife, Jane (Matula).
Jack had a strong and solid work ethic. He began his professional journey at Churchhill Trucklines. He joined the Army Reserves. Then spent the majority of his career with Sunline Brands, later Nestle; where he retired.
That didn't stop Jack. He continued to work at various jobs, eventually sticking with Sam's Club until 2021.
Jack is survived by his wife of 55 years Jane, children Kelly (Richard) Kreigshauser, Michelle Flanagan, Kim Sanders, Kris (Megan) Sanders. He was a wonderful grandfather to Samantha (Brian), Jack, Brady, Bailey, Laney, and Cole. He even got the chance to be a great-grandfather to Brooks.
Jack was an amazing family man and a friend to many. People loved chatting with him at Sam's. He loved to fish, get hooked on a new TV series with his wife, and would spend hours looking at his son's photography.
He was proud of his family and would talk to just anyone about them. Nobody could tell a story like him. A talk with him could make a hard day or decision seem easy. He will be greatly missed.
Services: Memorial visitation at the SCHRADER Funeral Home and Crematory, 14960 Manchester Road at Holloway, Ballwin, Thursday, March 2, 2023 from 2:00 p.m. until time of the memorial service at 7:00 p.m. Interment private. Friends may sign the family’s on-line guestbook at Schrader.com.
