Jack served in the US Marine Corps from 1952-1954 during the Korean Conflict. After his time in the service, Jack worked in the television industry for over 52 years. He began his career in Dayton Ohio at WLW.

After retiring he then returned to the work force bagging and helping others at Publix for six years.
Jack loved to play golf in his spare time and the game kept him busy spending time with his wife Anne and his friends.
Jack was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather whose life was defined by love for his family. He shared a strong and enduring bond with his beloved wife, Anne, and took great pride in his children and the family they built together. His steady presence, wisdom, and quiet strength will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
He is survived by his wife, Ann; his sons, Eric Jarvis and Preston Jarvis; and his daughter, Sherri Amato. Jack also leaves behind eight cherished grandchildren and four great-grandchildren, each of whom brought him immense joy and pride.
Jack’s legacy will live on through the love he gave, the values he passed down, and the many memories shared with family and friends. He will be remembered always for his love for the Lord, his kindness, dedication, and the deep love he held for those closest to him.
