Jackie "Jack" Jenkins was born on March 19th, 1938 in Boliver, Missouri. He passed away on December 16th, 2023 after a very sudden decline in his health. Jack was 85 years of age.

Jack truly lived life to the fullest through simple pleasures; chatting with family, visiting Wildlife Safari, hunting and fishing with his family, and spending time with his grandchildren and great grandchildren. Jack had such a strong ability to reach people in a deep and positive way, every last person he met was absolutely touched by his presence. He was the man the everyone aspires to be, the one great character every reader is enamored with, and that every author wants to write about. It's impossible for even the best author to capture his wit, intelligence, charms, and quirks.

Jack is survived by his loving wife, Betty Jenkins, His sons Jeff and Doug Jenkins, His daughters in-law Denise and Peggy Jenkins, His grandsons Brandon, Brennon and Cordell Jenkins, His Granddaughters Dusty and Jaclyn Jenkins, His granddaughters inlaw, Jessica Jenkins and Kim Nguyen, his Great Granddaughters Claire and Elizabeth Jenkins, and many loyal friends and extended family members. Family, friends, and others whose lives Jack touched are invited to Foursquare Gospel Center, 540 SE Main Street, Winston, OR on February 4th at 2:00 PM to celebrate Jack's life just as he'd want us to.
