Jack was a good friend and teamate. We both played defense in college at UT Martin 75-79. We had alot in common and spent many hours together on an off the field. Jack was a great athlete and man. His memory caused me to look for him after all these years. His memory lives in me till this day, it seems like yesterday. Love ya Jack. John Courtney #65

Hey daddy I think about you all the time and wonder a lot of where I would be if you were still here today........ I look at my brother and I see you. My kids would have loved you. I can't wait to come and see you one day I guess thats why I'm not scared to die. You would be proud of momma she really was a mother and a father she really stepped up and was and still is there for everything we need. I love you daddy and I will see you when it is my time to go..........

Dear Kelli, Litza, and Jack III, I knew you all when you were little living with your Mom and Dad at UT Martin. You were all so beautiful and so loved. Jack was so proud of you all. The last time I saw you was in the late 80's when your Mom came to visit us in Ripley, TN. Hug each other and your Mom for me. Let God's love and grace fill you. You are in my prayers. Love, Beth White

First I would like to send my deepest sympathies to all of you. For a time we were all pretty close and I am sorry that I didn't stay in touch. Jack was a great guy who taught all of us younger ones a thing or two about life and I will always be grateful for that. I want you to know that I do still love and care about all of you and am very sorry for your loss.
Love,

Dear Debbie,
I "talked" with Jack in '86 from S/FLA; met him in Jax in '87 and shortly after grew to love this big, gentle giant. Sometimes I teased him until I cried and often wonder why I am not crushed like a bug by now! I later met his then 'girlfriend' whom he used to bring to work with him, sitting beside him reading,and soon and forever I would be concerned with her well-being also. Debbie,
sometimes God throws down a
random dart. No other reason. Just a
dart,at least to God, deciding to take one of his Children home. If you want for anything, Deb, you have my E-Mail or can get my phone number. A big hug to you
