Jack was born on December 15, 1954, in Statesville, North Carolina, to the late William and Remelle Adams. A devoted brother, a hardworking man, and someone who never hesitated to lend a helping hand. Jack had a generous heart and made it a point to help anyone and everyone he could.

He was a longtime and faithful member of St. Peter’s Methodist Church, where he was a familiar and welcoming presence. For many years, Jack was the door greeter, arriving faithfully to welcome one and all. He was known for sharing his love of food with others, including preparing cookbooks for the ladies of the church.

In his later years, his faith became especially meaningful to him. Jack loved listening to Scripture and took great comfort in God’s Word. He quietly served others and gave of himself without expecting anything in return. May his memory be a blessing to all who knew and loved him.

Those remaining to cherish his memory are his sisters, Winnie Clarke (Phillip) of Morehead City, NC, Constance Smith (Phil) of Vancouver, WA, and Alyson Francisco (George) of Winston-Salem, NC; his black poodle, Lilly; and orange cat, Gus.
