Jack had a true servent's heart. He did many things at Trinity Baptist Church that not many people knew about because that was his way. He could always be counted on when he said he would do something and did not need notoriety. He was a wonderful friend to both of my parents and to me and he will remain in the hearts of all who knew him. I was blessed to know him. This world has lost a beautiful Christian but heaven has welcomed a true Saint. Jack has now seen God's face.
Jack McCormick was a compassionate and caring Christian. He did not push his religion on others. He just lived the Christian life. He was the very best example of Christian in our family. He was able to love, forgive and encourage everyone he came in contact with. Thank you Sarah for all the Emails you sent. You are a wonderful example of a Christian helpmate. We are truly blessed with you and cousin Jack’s love.

Dave and I will miss our beloved brother in Christ. What a blessing and encouragement in the Lord Jack has been to us and such a joy in that he always made us smile! Just thank God for our Trinity family and what a blessing God gives us whenever we are together. It has been difficult to lose so many of our family and now Jack. But the wonderful thing is that we do not loose hope because we know one day we will all be together again. When I think about what rejoicing is going on in heaven right now it makes me long for home all the more. Our love and prayers are with you Sarah and family. May God comfort you, for we know He counts every tear and knows your sorrow. We love you all! Dave and Judy Rothrock
To a great friend that I have known for over 50 years. We served together in the Texas National Guard for several years and have been family friends with he & Sara for a long time. Rest in Peace, "Red Racer"................
Ms. Boren asked, rightfully so, "who will take Jack's place..." I believe that many will work to fill his shoes, be the doer of things and provide the friendship he gave but I know that Jack cannot be replaced; we can only "do" in honor of his memory because he was a one-of-a-kind man. Whether he was serving at church, mentoring some young family (like he did with me) or just sharing himself in that great smile of his I never knew him to be described better than with the word "servant" So, Sarah and family, And also as Ms. Boren said, we will grieve his loss to us for now but oh, what a great reunion we will have with him when it is our time to be there where his new Heavenly home is now. I have no doubt that he will be among the first to greet us all.
Sarah, Sharon and family,
Cannot help today but wonder who will take Jacks place to unlock the doors at Trinity -- a job he had for many years that most never knew he did. A good and faithful servant, I can still see Jack and Sarah at Church, at Stars, at every thing we had at the Church....they were always there,. Jack will be missed by all who knew him, but we all have the assurance that one day we will meet again in our Heavenly Home. May your memories bring you joy and God bring you peace in the time of loss.
Prayers and Love,

Jack was a man after God's own heart. A true Christian who "talked the talk, and walked the walk". He always took time to tell others about the Saving Grace of Jesus Christ.
Jack will be missed by all who knew and loved him.

I am so very sorry for your loss. The Bible makes this comforting promise: "Jehovah is close to the brokenhearted, he saves those crushed in spirit." (Psalm 34:18) It also assures us: "Throw your burden on Jehovah, and he will sustain you." (Psalm 55:22) May these thoughts bring you a measure of comfort during this difficult time.
