Jack was born August 21, 1944 in Coolidge, Texas to Elmer Lee "Babe" and Ozelle Douthit Lewis. He attended Coolidge schools, graduating in 1962. Jack married his lifelong partner, Carolyn Lane on June 29, 1963 in Mexia, Texas. His working career began with a job delivering pecans to numerous cities for Toesack Jackson, then, he worked as a truck driver in the 70's and retired from Nucor Steel in the 90's.

After retirement, Jack began a "long love" for the farm where he spent endless hours tinkering with tractors, plowing, riding horses or just whatever he felt like doing at the time. However, family was his first love. Jack was always supportive of his children and grandchildren. He traveled many miles to watch his kids, grandkids and now, great grandkids play sports, however, he was their biggest fan, no matter what they were participating in.

Jack thoroughly enjoyed going to the beach, whether it be with family or just a trip for he and Carolyn. He also liked listening to all types of music, but Blues music was his favorite.

He was preceded in death by his parents; sisters, Betty Lou Broughton, Juanita Carroll, Diane Hansen and Gloria Tidwell; brothers, Charles "Charlie" Lewis and Terry Don Lewis.
