Thoughts and prayers 🙏
Thinking of you all during this difficult time. 🙏
So sorry
My deepest condolences to Jack’s family. As a next door neighbor to the Ness family cabin, I was always excited for summer when they’d come for the weekend. Jack & Karen treated me with such kindness. I have so many memories around Mark, Becky, John & Debbie. I miss those days on the lake but will hold onto many wonderful memories.. especially Jack’s smile ❤️ May God grant you peace during this sad time. Julie Jahnz Gahler
On behalf of the Forest Lake American Legion Post 225, we give thanks for Jack’s military service to our country.
Our deepest sympathy from your Comcast design friends.
I will forever think “Mr. Ness” whenever I hear Patty Duke. I will truly miss him greeting me as Patty Duke whenever I would see him ever since I was 6 years old. But I must have been in my 20’s when I figured it out. Now back with “Mrs. Ness” I truly will miss you both. Deb, we are traveling on this road together, love you!
We did not know Jack but his Grandson, Brian, is a tremendous ambassador for the kind of man Jack must have been. You have our deepest condolences.
With loving memories of Jack Ness,
My deepest sympathies to the Ness family. My greatest memories of Uncle Jack all revolve around being so young. This was Mark or Becky’s graduation and a family reunion. I was very lucky to have him as a Godfather and Uncle.
Sending our heartfelt condolences, Joe and Rachel Browning, Justin and Brooke Pecchia (and all the grandkids!!)
