From a young age, Jack was always exploring. Growing up in the Appalachian mountains of Virginia gave him lots of room to roam. Jack joined the Navy at 17. His love of country and exploration made this the perfect fit. After the Navy, Jack started several businesses. His methods of retail theft prevention revolutionized the industry. This took him all over the world as he taught and trained others. He never met a stranger. It gave him joy to give to anyone who had a need. He was passionate about studying Bible prophecy and the end times. A favorite quote of his was, “Even so Lord Jesus, come quickly.” It was with these words from his wife that Jack joined his Savior.
Jack is preceded in death by his parents, two brothers and his father in law. He is survived by his loving wife of 48 years, Joyce Henry of Longview. His children; Tom and Tarsha Henry of Newark, Ohio; Jacqui and Tim Baker of Longview, Texas; Heather and Pablo Velazquez of Dallas, Texas; Rebecca and Todd Fansler of Forney, Texas.
