To Loye, JJ and Carrie, Andy and Wendy, and all the Patton family........
Words can never come close to fully express the sadness we feel in the sudden loss of Jack. I know your hearts are heavy and burdened with sadness. You all were blessed over the years with such a wonderful husband, Dad, father in law, brother and grandpa.
We also were blessed with a wonderful friend. We have so many awesome memories of times we shared with him. Jim especially loved talking about the Bible with Jack.
Jack loved the Lord, his family and his country.....and, he served them all with dedication and pride. Without a doubt, we can know Jack is home now in the loving arms of Jesus.
Please know we are here for you Loye. You have been my loyal friend for many years and I love you like a sister. I have been reminiscing over the past few days of our visits, Jack’s military retirement reception, our birthday celebrations, our Sunday School parties, our garage sales, our meals together, and all the times we shopped while our guys talked together. So many memories!!! My heart is joyful as I think of Jack in Heaven walking with Jesus and talking with all our loved ones. It is a blessing knowing we will see him again. May our merciful Lord give you sweet comfort. ❤️

Jack you were the rock for your brothers and sisters and you will be forever Loved and missed by each. Love you
Loye and family, we were shocked to hear of Jack's passing. We will always remember him as a good soldier and a God-loving man. We know how much he loved his family as well as life itself and know he will be greatly missed by the many people whose lives he touched as he traveled through life. We will remember our get togethers and time spent reliving the "good old days." May you feel the comfort of God's loving arms holding you close in the coming days.

We express our sympathies for your family and friends. I went to school at Santa Fe High (class of 1962) with Jackie, and my brother James Holloman (Hol) graduated in 1963 with Jackie. We knew him well, and always though very highly of him, and knew he would go far in life.
