Jack was a tremendous man with such enthusiasm for the “paths” he would choose to pursue. He was so very proud of his son Derek and bragged about him often when our paths crossed. Jack helped me out more than once personally when I would need a place to stay.
What a giving person with such a great set of brothers and mother!
He will be missed!
Such a nice man rip buddy and prayers to your son and family.

I will forever love you Jack, My Dear Heart. We were brought back together after 10 years and if it was only to bring you the utmost adoration and love for these short 18 mos together, this pain of your absence into my forever is what I will endure in sacrifice. I loved your sense of humor and our deep talks on the Universe and our planning a future ahead. I know you struggled with a mind that would never quiet and it pains me you were hurting for so long. I will carry you into my every day going forward in my heart. Love your Ally Cat
I met Jack in the late 90’s at the Sports Center. Jack was a staple at the gym and was always ready with a genuine smile and greeting. Our most sincere sympathy to Jack’s family and friends during this difficult time.

I had the pleasure of knowing Jack both during and after Highschool. My condolences to the family and prayers for you!
I met Jack over 20 years ago while in college. He and I were on the same concrete crew. He always had a constant smile and a great sense of humor. Although it has been many years since then I will never forget him. Very sorry for the loss of such a great person. Thoughts and prayers to his family and all who knew him.
I graduated from high school with Jack’s older brother Chad. Jack was always smiling whenever you passed him in the hallway. I also remember him from the gym. My deepest sympathies to his family. He will be missed by many.
I loved watching Ali and Jack’s love story…was one of the best I have seen ❤️ He seemed like such a genuine, great, caring and kind soul. Rest easy sweet man…and my deepest condolences to his son, family, and sweet Ali ❤️
I had Jack as a freshman, junior, and senior in English class, so I got to know him pretty well. It was obvious even 30 years ago that he had a great depth of feeling. He was so kind and caring, he will be missed by many. My prayers go out to you all.

I am deeply saddened by the new of your loss. I pray that God will grant you the strength needed to get through this moment in your life. Jack was such a cool dude! My most sincere condolences.
Todd and I were so very sorry to hear about Jack. We talked about all that we remembered, how he called Todd “Ted” and Todd called him “Jed”. I remember his laugh and Todd remembered how really was one of the good guys! We have not seen or been in touch for many years since we moved from the area but this does not make his loss any less hurtful. We pray that he is at peace and as someone said earlier, heaven has gained an angel.
So sorry to hear about Jack. My brother Doug was good friends with Chad, his brother and my parents were friends with his parents. I always enjoyed going out to the farm with my parents when Bruce was alive and playing with all of the guys. May he rest in peace. Twila you raised some great boys!!!!!! So so very sorry and share in your sorrow.
My deepest sympathies to Jack’s family and friends. I remember a young man from high school that was fun loving and always had that great smile. He will be deeply missed. Rest in peace my friend.
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.
So sorry to hear of the passing of jack i knew him from body building at golds gym he was an inspiration to me
I was so sad to hear of this when Mom told me. Baby sitting for Jack was always an entertaining time; so action packed and inquisitive; such a cute kid, and as I see here, grew into a great guy. My condolences, and so sorry he had struggles. God’s peace to your whole family and Wade and Chad.
My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Burd family and his closest friends. I will always have great memories of Jack.
