Major Jack E. Freeman
A United States Air Force Veteran with honor, dignity and service to his country.
Dad put his family above all and gave his complete heart and soul,
to the well-being of all he touched. His time on this earth was well spent
and through his hard work and dedication and determination to his family,
work place, and his country have made it, a better place for all to live.
Dads love for my mother is as deep as the oceans and as high as a mountain.
They are soul mates forever and we their children will honor them in our hearts
for ever and ever.
Dad was an educator, administrator, and a leader in his field, but most
of all he was my best friend and adviser. I am very proud and honored
to be his son, as I know my mother Betty, brothers Jack and Mark, and my sister Melissa
are as well. In the span of his life, he has touched thousands, but will always remain humble.
He will acknowledge others for their contributions before himself. He was a man that
would always go the extra mile and give all he had to help others no matter what the problem
was. He could light up a room with his laughter, candor, and give encouragement when needed to help
you on your way. My father will never be forgotten. I know that I will meet my father again in the house of our Lord. Oh Dad; Remember to look in on us from time to time, and in our dreams touch our hearts when we are down and in need of your guidance.
Sleep well father in the arms of our Lord and may the gates of the Heaven
open and rejoice as you enter.
With all my love, heart, and soul your son;
David M. Freeman
