Jack Tuller Obituary
July 15, 1961 - August 30, 2019
In 1994, at the age of 32, Jack was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor and given about one year to live. He defied all odds, going on to experience a quarter-century's worth of laughter, travel, and loving relationships. Jack's battle ended on August 30 when he donned a pair of silk pajamas and exited life's stage.Jack was a musician, video producer, techie, leasing agent, and bon vivant. Above all, his trade was connecting with people. He had the uncanny ability to strike up casual conversations that magically turned into meaningful, lifelong relationships. Jack had a vast multitude of friends from all walks of life, mostly musicians, writers, artists, and free spirits.
Jack's greatest joy was traveling with the love of his life, his wife Jennifer. The couple's destinations included Cuba, Malaysia, and Vietnam, to name just a few. Two years after Jack's second brain surgery in 2013, the duo visited Madagascar, fulfilling Jack's wish to play with lemurs.
Jack is survived by his wife Jennifer Carino, his mother and father-in-law Adalia and Ralph Carino, his father and stepmother Jack Ferrell and Sharon Franks, his sister-and brother-in-law Jocelyn and Anthony Quinamague, nephews Mark, Nathan and Dylan, and countless cousins and friends.

Jack Has A Plan was brilliant. Friends and family were generous in allowing viewers to feel what was personal to them as individuals. And Jack did a great service by allowing the understanding that terminal should be handled by the sufferer.
We watch loved ones drift away while collectively suffering. Why not expedite the inevitable, in a serene and loving manner?
Thanks to everyone involved.
