John REARDON Obituary

Age 58, of St. Paul ~ AKA Jack, Jackson, Brother, Buddy, Man about Town After a lifelong struggle to fill the hole in his soul, surrendered to "The Big Guy", to whom he gave daily thanks, on July 23, 2014. Jack is welcomed in heaven by parents, Robert and Josephine Reardon; brother, Michael; and numerous 4-legged friends. His formidable presence in Harley leathers could not hide his gentle spirit and loving heart. Jack was an avid hunter, a fearless water and double black diamond skier, prolific reader, and Jeopardy master. He leaves behind the love of his life, fiancée, Ann Andrews; siblings, Jane Hawkins (Chuck), Patty Reardon (Bill Coleman), Mary Waara, Cathy Reardon, Dan Readon, Sarah Reardon, Bob Reardon (Julie); nieces and nephews, Stephanie, Alex, Kelsey, Michael, Ellie, Ben, Stephen. Jack loved life, food, and his many friends and was loved by all that knew him. Please join his family in a celebration of his life on Sat., Aug. 2, 2014 at 10:00 AM. Services will be held at Church of the Assumption, 51 W. 7th St., St. Paul, MN with visitation 1 hour prior. In lieu of flowers, memorials to the Animal Humane Society or Ducks Unlimited are appreciated.

My favorite Jack story is when Sister Victoria in 6th grade asked "how much is two feet" and Jack answered "10 toes". I have not seen him much but did get to see him a couple of years ago. Had some good laughs and memories og grade school.

Hello our Dear Reardon's...Jack's loving smile will always remain in my mind, as will his daring side, his passion for adventure, and oh yes...his mischievous and (at the same time) loving sense of humor.

God's Speed all of you.
