Marianne and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I only found out today since we had moved to the hill country news is a bit slower. Jack and I quickly became friends when he first moved to midland and would be running through the neighborhood from his apartment. He welcomed me into his office and we had a great working relationship. I always looked forward to our time together even when the conversations were challenging they were always respectful. He was a mentor too many and a friend to all. Our prayers are with the family and am so proud to have had known him.

My heart breaks this morning in hearing the news of Jack's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Mohr family at this time. Jack was not only a great man, but one of the most humblest individuals that I have ever come in contact with. The time that he counseled with me while I was a Bishop is something that I will never ever forget. God be you till we meet again!!

Jack was a legend and great example to me and all those who were around him during our Boy Scout/High School days. I cannot think of another peer who was that rare combination of wisdom, maturity, fun loving, athletic, humble giant, positive example and all around great person as was embodied by "Jacksun".
It was like he was the standard for all that was good in the world. It seemed to me like Jack was a guy who lived with no regrets because he had already made the right choices in the first place.
My first memory that comes to mind is at the end of a Scout 50 mile trip in the Sierras. This was the end of a 3 week trip(1st week was a youth conference at BYU, 2nd week was Scout camp at Oljato and then a weeklong 50 miler) for this group. Our vehicles were parked where we started by a rushing river that had small rock pools on its sides. Signifying the end of this trip, Nature boy "Jackay" decides its time to take a bath and strips down to a smile to clean up. Never mind us and other hikers who cant help "butt" notice. Even though it might have been a bit awkward at the time for the rest of us and the other hikers passing by, it was alright because it was Jack and that made it perfectly fine to do. I remember thinking, man, I don't think I could do what Jack just did. Jack was a giant of a guy and that water was cold, if you know what I mean. I remember as he is taking his bath him explaining that the soap he was using was biodegradable and wouldn't hurt anything as we were trying to maintain eye contact.(Gate ouff Jackson!). This wasn't some guy being wild around the boys, this was Jack taking advantage of the natural resources around him.
Its been years since I last saw Jack but I have immediate happiness and respect when I think of him.
Our heart, thoughts and prayers go out to his family at this difficult time. We hope you find comfort in knowing where Jack is for this temporary separation and in knowing you will see him again.
Thanks Jack for being you.
Until we meet again brother

My most heart felt condolences to the Mohr family. I did not know Jack well but had the privilege to occasionally cross paths with him at work over the years. However you did not need to know Jack long or well to experience his genuine sincerity. A true testament to the path he chose in life.

I grew up with Jack and his family in Mountain View CA. Although we've not been in contact since college at BYU, I remember Jack as always being a shining example of goodness no matter what others around him might be choosing. He actively chose to be a good young man and clearly that continued in his adult and family life. Many more things could be said about Jack and his goodness.
My thoughts and prayers go out to Jack's family that they may be comforted during this difficult time.

So very sad for his family and the countless number of folks whose lives Jack touched. As newcomers to Midland, he welcomed our son with open arms into the BSA troop, was was a tremendous role model for him, and a big reason our son is now an Eagle Scout. We were all blessed to have known him and will keep his family and loved ones in our prayers.

From Melbourne, Australia we sent our love and prayers to the family Mohr.
Jack was a good man. We loved and respected him as our Bishop. He was hard working and no task too hard or small to do. Always willing to serve others.
What made him great were the small things He did, He would shake the hand of every person if possible at church on a Sunday and have a chat. He genuinely cared about people and that made him great. He would also pick up a ball and play with the YW. Rest In Peace, Jack.
November 20, 2019
Marianne and Family,
We are heartbroken to hear of Jack's passing.
We are praying for you and are remembering him fondly as he was a great example of leadership, strength and kindness in and around our community. He was an awesome role model in the scout program during which time we had the honor to get to know him.
With our deepest sympathy and love,

Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest as they lie in death.. Isaiah 57:2
I found this to be as close as words could come to the kind of man I always knew Jack would become . I only knew him during our time in highschool but his good hearted nature , integrity ,honesty and character stood out even then . At an age where we all are discovering ourselves and making the mistakes I made. Jack always seemed to be on the right path already , l knew without doubt he would be the kind of man I just unfortunately had to read about in the obituary . Nothing in there suprised me other than the nature of his passing . It sounds like something you would read about a person like myself that had made poor choices that put them in harm's way . Jack's path I'm sure was rightous and true . It a shame anyone should be taken from us in this manner especially a Man that was so obviously kind , honest ,intelligent and willing to help anyone in need . He will be remembered as I knew him to be . A good kind and gentle soul all around stand up guy . My condolences to Gail and the whole family .

Our prayers have been with your family since this tragic event. While I did not know Jack well, I am fortunate to have an old recipe from Jack called "Jack's marinade" for chicken, that Christine shared with me many years ago. She told me how awesome the chicken was that Jack cooked. May the arms of the Savior continue to be around your family to comfort you and help you find peace.

Marianne and family, our hearts are so heavy for the loss of your dear Jack. You are blessed to know how enduring and wonderful family bonds will be in the next phase of life, but it still hurts terribly when one has to leave so long before anyone is ready for it and in such a tragic way. Our dear friends, you are in our prayers. We love you.

I remember your gracious invitation to dinner with Jack teaching Todd and I how to play Mexican train dominoes. He had a contagious exuberance that will be sorely missed. The world was a better place with a man like Jack in it. The Mohr family is high on my list of favorite families that have crossed our path. Marianne my heart has been so heavy knowing there is nothing I can do or say but to tell you I'm sorry and I am sending my love.

"Hug the ones you love, and let us enjoy and appreciate the time that we have together." ~ Oprah
There is no way to express the shock and dismay that we feel at the sudden, tragic loss of our friend Jack Mohr. I saw him by surprise just three weeks ago at the Sugar Land LDS chapel, and remarked that he should move his family back here and just commute to north Houston by helicopter. He laughed and said that, while he appreciated the sentiment, the reality was that we would be again apart.
The only consolation, for ourselves, was that we had the opportunity to be spend many years with a true leader and a "straight arrow," in Jack. Our sons were in the Scouting program with his sons, and they were able to see the example of his leadership and kindness, as well.
Our prayers are with all those who share in this loss.

Jack was one of my Young Men's leaders when I was about 13-14. On one occasion while at Scout camp we had gotten a frisbee stuck in a very high part of a tree. It was one of those frisbees that's shaped like a ring and was very stuck on a branch. All the boys took turns throwing rocks at it to attempt to free it from the branch. Since we had nothing else to do we spent a lot of time trying to get it down. After no less than an hour of hurling rocks at this frisbee we asked brother Mohr to help us. He threw about 10 rocks with the same result. The frisbee was still not coming down. Brother Mohr said we should say a prayer and we did. After the prayer on the very first throw he hit the frisbee just right and freed it from the branch and it came down to the ground. Kind of a silly thing to pray about but I will always remember that.

Marianne, kids and the Mohr family deepest condolences for your loss. Jack was a soft spoken, inspirational giant of a man. His guidance and support during his years in Australia has had a long lasting impact on me for that I will always be grateful

My deepest condolences. I will always remember Jack being kind, loving, positive and uplifting. I never left a conversation with Jack not feeling better about things. This was one of his gifts. As he trained me in my new calling, he took the time to make sure I believed I could do it and made it clear that he believed I could do it. I am grateful for his kindness and example to me. I am grateful for my knowledge of our Heavenly Father's eternal plan of happiness and hope the Mohr family finds comfort in our Savior's love at this difficult time.

We were all so devastated to hear of the death of Mr. Mohr. As one of the Spring residents in the general area where this occurred, we did not learn of his death until early Friday morning. Our hearts break for your family. His innocence seems to have affected so many in the area. The only bright light is he accomplished what he was sent to earth to accomplish and went to his reward in Heaven. May God richly bless each of you who loved him.

We were so saddened Friday by this news. Jack is an incredible man. A kinder, gentler, more levelheaded deacons leader you will never find. Jack instilled so many good qualities in the young men he loved and served. Sam and Peter are better men today for knowing Jack and working under his care and guidance.
The whole Mohr family are kind and good. We are praying for peace and strength for your family.
