Jack McKenna Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Christopher T. Jordan Funeral Home on Dec. 21, 2025.
On behalf of all of us at Christopher T. Jordan Funeral Home, we pause with deep gratitude and heavy hearts to honor our dear friend, Deacon Jack McKenna.
Deacon Jack was a faithful servant in every sense of the word. His ministry was not confined to words alone-it lived in his presence, his compassion, and his unwavering willingness to walk with families through their most difficult moments. He brought calm where there was sorrow, faith where there was uncertainty, and dignity to every life he helped honor.
To our funeral home, Deacon Jack was more than a colleague in service-he was a trusted partner, a steady guide, and a true friend. He supported families with humility and grace, never seeking recognition, always focused on comfort, prayer, and peace. His kindness was quiet but powerful, and his impact immeasurable.
We are profoundly grateful for the years we were blessed to work alongside him, to learn from him, and to witness his devotion to both God and community. His legacy lives on in the countless families he helped, the prayers he offered, and the love he shared so freely.
Deacon Jack will be deeply missed, but his spirit remains ever present-in the lives he touched, the faith he strengthened, and the example he set for all of us.
With sincere gratitude and enduring respect,
Christopher T. Jordan Funeral Home
