Jack married Alma Jean and they had two sons: David and Ronald. He worked in the wool mill as a blanket maker.
In June of 1984, Jack's mother died, and he and Alma Jean left for Winder to attend the funeral. On the way, they were involved in a car accident in which their car ran off the road and into a ditch. Jack did not survive the injuries he sustained in the accident and Alma Jean's injuries almost took her life as well. Jack died on June 18, 1984, in Richmond, GA... just 11 days after his mother's death.
