Jack Pershall was born in Chelan, Washington to William Melville Pershall and Thelma Evelyn Pershall on November 21, 1931. He passed away peacefully at his home in Wenatchee WA on June 5, 2025. Jack graduated from high school at Upper Columbia Academy, Spangle WA in 1952. He was drafted into the Army that same year and served 2 years as a medic. After his military service Jack moved to Seattle WA and worked at Boeing and General Electric for over 40 years. Upon his retirement he relocated to Wenatchee to be near family. Jack was a lifelong member of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church serving faithfully as a deacon for many years. Enjoying family gatherings and taking many drives to see the sites were some of Jack's favorite things. He is preceded in death by his parents and one sister Jeannine Sackett of Chattanooga Tennessee. He is survived by four brothers: Bill (Donna)Pershall of Wenatchee, Lee (Mary Kay) Pershall of Sparks, Nevada, Dan (Linda) Pershall of Wenatchee, David Pershall of Houston Texas, and one sister Sharon Melchake of Greeley, Colorado.
