Jack’s life was centered on his faith in Jesus, his family, and serving others. Whether it was his family, church, community or even a stranger, Jack worked hard to serve others and enjoyed helping everyone. He was friendly to all and never hesitated to take the time to show interest in another and give them an encouraging word.

Jack had been an active member of the Monday Morning Kiwanis, BSF and enjoyed a long lasting connection with Boy Scouts of America. He also found great joy in serving the churches he attended throughout the years.

Jack is survived by his bride and sweetheart of 57 years, Fran Rodgers, one son; Dean, two daughters: Kim Lambert and Donna Richardson. He was cherished, valued and loved by his wife and children and his ten grandchildren who fondly referred to him as “Gippy.” He is preceded in death by his parents, his sister Florence Anderson, and three brothers: Anthony, Timothy and David Rodgers.

A Memorial Service will be at 2:00 P.M., Saturday, September 20th at Village Bible Church.
