Jack D. Herring, 94, of Briarfield Place, passed away early Monday morning, January 11, 2026, at his residence.
Jack was born September 22, 1931, in Oakland, Illinois, a son of the late Jerome and Alice (Davis) Herring. He came to this area in 1977. He was a proud veteran of the United States Air Force, serving in Korea during the Korean War.
Jack was employed as a district manager for S.C. Johnson & Company, retiring in 1986 after 30 years of service. He was a member of Sulgrave Masonic Lodge No. 696, F. & A.M.
An Ohio sports fan, Jack enjoyed cheering on the Cleveland Browns, Indians, and Cavaliers. He was also an avid golfer, but most importantly, he cherished spending time with his family. His wife, the former Dorothy Teal, whom he married on December 28, 1954, passed away on January 20, 2023.
Jack is survived by his daughter, Susan (Gary) Gula, and his son, Jack (Cindy Kerns) Herring, both of Boardman; and two grandchildren, Mark (Tanya) Gula and Amy (Ish) Vicens. In addition to his parents and his wife, Jack was preceded in death by his sister, Imogene (Dick) Wodika, and his half-brother, William (Rose) Herring.
