I knew Jack when I was a kid growing up in Edgemont. Kevin and I were in the same grade in school and played Little League football together. I remember riding in a car with Jack& Peggy, Kevin and another teammate to an "away" game down by Price Ut.
Later, I got to know Jack on an adult level when I moved back to the Edgemont area and into the 4th ward. I enjoyed my association and friendship with Jack in the ward and the High Priest Quorum. He always had a warm smile and a handshake for me.

I worked with Jack for a brief period at Geneva Pipe years ago where Jack would assist us in bidding projects from time to time. I didn't get to know him well but always found him to be one of the most pleasant men I have had the privilege to work with. Always very helpful and soft spoken in his demeanor, Jack would be one you would want to be stuck on a deserted island with! You just felt comfortable around Jack asking for whatever you needed. When a downturn in the economy meant someone had to be let go, I'll never forget how regrettable it was that Jack was the one. My sympathy to the family, you lost a good one.

Sue Anne and Kevin - With love I send this note of wonderful memories. Your mom and dad are precious treasures to me. We go back a long time - actually my entire life. My dad always talked about his friend "Sam" and it took me half a lifetime to realize that Sam and Jack were the same man! Your dad always treated me with hugs and kisses - like I was his own. His smile and encouragement are precious memories - he always called me Jewels. A family memory - when our youngest son, Rad, did his Eagle project - installing the BBQ grills at North Park - your dad was there to help (Rad's grandpa wasn't there). I remember thinking "why", and as we worked I realized that he really did love us and truly ministered. That's how your father was - he was always there, quietly serving. Another memory - when our daughter, Tricialee, was nine-months old, we had to call the ambulance one night because she had a massive seizure from a high fever. Your dad heard the sirens and he was in the driveway. As I got into the ambulance, he gave me a hug with a twinkle in his eye and told me he'd pray for us...your mom brought me a 'treat' the next day. It's hard to say 'goodbye', but memories are eternal and your family will always be a part of me. I'm sorry, I won't be able to give you a hug on Monday...Miss Julie has her preschool kids and in this crazy time I won't be able to get a substitute. Know my heart will be with you. - Forever - Julie Anderson Clark

Jack Childress has been a dear friend of mine for many years as we were members of the Edgemont 4th Word. We were about the same age and oldtimers in the Ward and would generally set together in meetings. When he moved from the Word to live with his daughter, I missed him very much. He had a gentle nature and a kind heart. I considered him to be an eternal friend. Will see you on the other side, good friend. Bill Walton
