Posted by Jack's daughter this afternoon. R.I.P our friend.

John Alfred Hopkins, better known as Jack, passed away on June 20, 2018 at the age of 60 years.
Jack battled cancer for several years with tenacity, grace and dignity. Jack is a fighter and an incredible inspiration to many. He has faced some of life’s hardest obstacles with a smile on his face.

Jack loved fast cars, life on the lake and a great adventure — whether it be water skiing, snow skiing, dirt biking or fishing. A compassionate husband, father, brother and friend, he never turned down a dance, a good time, or the perfect margarita. Jack was a classic Ford motor enthusiast and a member of the Texas Cobra Club.
He lived life fast, joyfully and with a wide open heart. He inspired so many with his passion for life, quiet confidence, resilient spirit and loving heart. He never met a stranger and had an unforgettable grin.

Jack will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 24 years, Sharon, his daughter Lauren (Zach), and granddaughter Elliot. He is survived by his brother Tom (Linda), sisters Jan (Larry) and Peggy (Tim), along with 5 nieces and nephews. Jack was predeceased by his father, John Hopkins and mother, Frieda Hopkins.
Jack was a beloved boss and colleague, dedicating 32 years to Million Air Dallas, Texas. He had an instrumental career in aviation, and played a critical role in building Million Air. Jack started his career in building maintenance in 1984. He advanced to a job in Line Service, to eventually become General Manager and finally land as President of Million Air Dallas.
Jack served on the board of Turning POINT (Paraplegics On Independent Nature Tours), a non-profit organization providing adapted outdoor recreational activities and adventures for those with physical challenges.

A Celebration of Jack’s life will be held on Saturday, August 11, at Jack's family lake house on Lake Bob Sandlin in Pittsburg, Texas.
Memorial donations in memory of Jack can be made to the American Cancer Society, or to an organization of your choice.
