Jack was like another son to our family and he will be greatly missed. He was a constant friend in Matt’s life and we have so many memories of him both at our cabin and hanging out with Matt in the neighborhood. We always felt they were kindred spirits and their friendship stood the test of time. Jack will forever be loved and cherished.
I remember all the time we spent playing in your driveway/garage and your dad teaching you how to cat call all the high school girls who rollerblade by at about the age of four-years-old! Man did you make us belly laugh when you did that <3
