Jack was married in 1977 and started a family soon after. Early in his life, Jack drove a tractor trailer as well as working as a ranch hand around the Clovis, New Mexico area where he developed his hard working style and love for animals and the ranching life. In spite of the long hours that sometimes came with his work, Jack spent a great deal of time enjoying camping and fishing with his family.
In 1988, Jack and his family relocated to Butler, Oklahoma where he continued to work in farming and ranching. Some of Jack’s favorite years were spent working for the Beutler Brothers Rodeo Company of Elk City. His job with Beutler Bros. allowed him to spend time riding horses and enjoying the outdoors.
In the last few years, Jack had relocated to the Cheyenne community where worked for the State of Oklahoma Highway Department and was most recently employed with Roger Mills County. When he wasn’t working, Jack enjoyed fishing and spending time with Catherine Allen and her family.
