Jack was more than his work; he was a man who loved deeply and gave generously. He cherished time with his family and friends, whether hunting, fishing, golfing, playing tennis, cooking or traveling.

He took great pride in his home and property, making sure everything was in pristine condition.

He leaves behind a legacy of love through his children, Mendy Jones and husband Ben; Justin Stark and wife Jenn; Stacey Simpson and husband Nick; and Sheldyn Stark and husband BJ; along with seven treasured grandchildren, Kaydee, Conner, Tucker, Jax, Lincoln, Maverick and Noah. Jack is also survived by Stacey Stark, who lovingly cared for him until the end, five siblings, Jim Stark and wife Carla, Brenda Makings and husband Jim, Larry Stark and wife Cindy, Ralph Stark and wife Jeanie, and Judy Parker and husband Randy; and many dear friends and extended family who will miss his warmth and humor.
