RIP Jack, you were truly on of the good guys, you will be missed. Jack and his wife Donna gave the service for my late wife Susan. He comforted me in my time of sorrow. We were good friends and I’ll miss him.

Dear Donna and family, Please accept Carol and my condolences - may the Lord comfort you as you mourn. Sorry for your loss. I got to know Jack while we ministered together as Chaplains with the Flagler County Sheriff Office. Jack ministered to the COP’s and I ministered to law enforcement officers, but at times we worked together. I always found Jack to be a very compassionate Chaplain who loved each COP and gave tirelessly of his time and ministry to them. His joy is filled now! Love and Blessings, Ed and Carol Reistetter
I don’t know John well but I remember meeting him at the Rock Church back in January 2022. I can tell he loved his wife Donna and served well. I
also remember how he conquered cancer, I believe it was a year and a half ago, and how he had a dream, which Donna says is very rare for him, where the Humvees and the military was marching down Pennsylvania Avenue to arrest those who were in the White House. In his dream, he also mentioned how there would be Tribunals immediately afterwards, to bring Justice to our nation. Wow that’s significant! Jack will need to see the fulfillment of his dream in heaven. But many of us believe that dream will come true very soon. God bless you Jack! May you rest from your labors and enjoy your rewards! May your family continue your legacy of serving the Lord.
Dear Donna and Family:
I just wanted to share a precious memory I have of Jack: In June of 2022, I traveled to your prayer meeting in Bunnell, FL from McDonough GA. It was my first time coming. I had seen you guys on Elijah Streams and was hungry for the glory! I was met with such love by all there. You, Donna, had a wonderful word for me and so did others. Your husband, Jack, came to me and said these words: He lovingly held my hand and sat next to me. He said my family and neighborhood were going to look up to me. Also when fellowshipping by the table with Jack at the end, he told me that “the best is yet to come”.
Jack's words about my family and neighborhood are still words that I remember often and hang onto because I have had persecution with many close to me - some of that because of my stand for Donald Trump. I have been treated harshly by some close to me. Therefore, it was not just the prophetic words that Jack spoke to me, but the tender fatherly way in which he spoke to me. The tenderness and love and promise from a father figure has been something that ministered to me greatly and gave me a wonderful glimpse of Father God's love for me.
I am so sorry for your loss. I know Jack will be greatly missed, but that heaven gained an amazing man of God!
Much love and prayers!
Sandy Bates, McDonough GA
